How do you do that?

Thanks,

LOL! They just popped out! I think it is the scope, as I used to really struggle with the Megrez to get any star colour at all. I'm loving it though! We will have to wait and see when I do my next image.

This is often done by blending the Red, Lum or even desaturated RGB data into the Ha using lighten mode in PS this will keep the Ha details but make the stars match the RGB stars in size so your LRGB will be more pleasing. I often like to use the minimum filter on just my RGB stars too so this further reduces them to match the small Ha stars.

You should try various blends of these results and see what happens

Thanks Mike, I'll give it a go in the next few days.
