Basically a 2 colour image taken with the L-Enhance filter with stars imported from my colour camera. Deleting the too blue stars associated with the L-Enhance filter and replacing them with the colour camera stars has been troublesome and lengthy. I tried using StarXterminator to remove the too blue stars but it caused the nebula to be more blurred and messed it up a bit. I did this with a late stage processed image but when I tried it before much stretching, it made things worse.
I tried adding in some data from my monochrome camera but it made things worse. Could it be for nebula with the extra resolution available, because they are spread over a large area, mono data doesn't increase fine detail and it only does so on enlarged small galaxies?

Aligning the images manually with one image taken with an 8" Newtonian and the other with a 5" has been quite trying. I wouldn't normally do this.
Any comments and help in processing ideas most welcome. I am transitioning from colour to colour and mono cameras plus filters.
I only have DSS and Photoshop available.

The “AstroBin Image of the Day and Top Picks”, or IOTD/TP, is a long-running system to promote beautiful, interesting, peculiar, or otherwise amazing astrophotographs, with a focus on technical excellence. Learn more.

Submitted The date and time when you submitted this image for IOTD/TP consideration.	...
Views by Submitters (available since September 19th, 2023) Every image is assigned to 50% of available Submitters. In the event that at least 80% of them don't view the image before its time in the IOTD/TP process expires, it's assigned to the other 50% of Submitters and the process begins anew.
Promotions by Submitters When 3 distinct Submitters promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for Top Pick status. This requirement, in addition to anonymization of images and distribution to only a subset of them, prevents biases and ensures that the best images are selected.
Promotions by Reviewers When 3 distinct Reviewers promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for IOTD status.
Early dismissal Staff members have a lot of images to inspect on a daily basis, and they can dismiss images if they believe they don't meet the requirements for IOTD/TP selection. If an image is dismissed 5 times, it's removed from the process. This streamlines the process and ensures that any bias present in promotions could be overruled by other staff members.
