Nicely done!  Is this an HOS ?  My own version of this in HSO was so lurid and orange I moved over to SHO for everything since... I might revisit my data

Two comments if you like:

There is quite a lot of noise lurking so I had a play with Topaz Denoise (hope you don't mind).  Also  I would  go for stars a little crisper, but thats just me.

It is actually SHO, but I had a job to get rid of a magenta background, and fiddling around I got these colours which I quite liked.

I did do a noise reduction routine but looks like there was some residual noise I hadn't spotted, so might give it another whirl.  It is not a one click routine but one I learnt in Layers.
