Thanks John,   How do I do that?

You can search the PI forums for Magenta Star Reduction or just do it using PixelMath. The formula I use is:

R/K: $T[0]
G: iif(min($T[0],$T[2])>$T[1],min($T[0],$T[2]),$T[1])
B: $T[2]

You can use it with a star mask but it's not always necessary. Works really well!

Regards
John

WOW!!!!  It really works!  That's amazing--no star mask require at all for this image.  It totally removed the magenta from the halos.  Any idea how to remove teh halos themselves?  They are pretty small in this image, but they are there in a few stars.  

Many thanks.

Can't help myself--here is a crop of a very interesting area that I am considering targeting at a longer focal length.

There are some pillars in it with an NGC number I think, can't remember now.

No completely wrong I was thinking of Melotte 15 in the Heart Nebula, I blame old age

So far no one has been able to identify the little blob.  Even Olly has not seen it.  Anyone?
