Thanks Graham - I did leave the backgound a bit brighter than normal so as to show it.

Thanks Pete - was hoping to tame the purple and get more blue but I think the Ha is overwhelming the O3 - more O3 needed.

You could try removing the stars in the O3 then adding it as a separate colourized (teal/blue) layer. You will then be able to push the O3 much further and give it a harder noise reduction without loosing the sharpness in the overall image. This technique is commonly used when adding narrow band layers to an RGB image.

Cheers Pete -I will try that when I get my processing mojo back.

My concentration at the moment is not good.
