Why not discard the B and use a desaturated/ mono version of your combined RGB, there's 120' worth there. do some extra contrast, sharpening... whatever works and recombine the Ha data to it and see how that looks, then re combine to the RGB data.

God, you gotta hate it when you have the wrong filter slotted

All the best

The blue luminance is pretty minor and the TEC180 lumiance was mainly used. There may be a slight gain doing that but I don't think it would be much.

Thanks Trevor. I'm going to take some more luminance at some point so a repro is on the cards.
