Hi,
Although I took this image last year, I thought it might be a good idea to post it since I used a recently discussed technique:

I used Fabian Neyer's technique to remove stars from the H-alpha image. Then when I blended it into the red channel (I used my method of "screen" blending)- I did not have to worry about the Ha contaminating the RGB stars. I think all worked out well and I was very pleased to detect some of the tendrils in this nebula that show up in narrowband imaging so well.
