There should be some light blues in the centre and the stars should have more colour.

Have a look at Rob Gendlers website as he has some Ha blending methods that can help there. Ha blending is an art as Ha can easily take over the image. Probably a Ha and Luminance combine first. You can also add a bit of Ha as a luminosity layer with the opacity slider down a bit (maybe only 15%) to get detail as well but it will weaken colours and shift colours a lot so in moderation only.

Thans for the good tips Greg and i will have a look at the website
