NGC 346 in SMC LLRGB repro

I have a few nights of data now , unfortunately all with
some sort of flaw.
The Luminosity from the 19th last night was super crisp BUT
on processing I get a flare on every star at 7 o'clock
(I think this is just the camera/filterwheel offaxis slightly)

On the RGB from the 17th I have not enough frames for good
S/N and the seeing was not as good as the 19th.

But I tried a basic LLRGB blend as per the Gendler website and
got this.

Colour is obviously wrong...I think this should be a bluish reflection
neb
type colour so the saturated pink is a bit offputting.
My previous attempt got the blue result but way oversaturated.

This is through stock standard Meade DSI red/green/blue filters
and a Baader IR for the luminosity.
