Cyan stars in RGB

[IvanT]

Hi,

I've been reading some of the posts on the subject of correcting "cyan stars". Being fairly new to AP I must admit to not fully understanding what Ha is?

This recent attempt of mine on M42 shows the stars with an exaggerated cyan tint which comes out after stretching with levels & curves in PS CS5.

Is there a technique that can be applied to RGB to minimize the cyan effect on stars?

Thanks
