Thanks Jeff, I use PS to process. To remove the magenta from the image I'll use the Hue/Sat tab and choose the Magenta from the pull down menu and setting either the Saturation or the Lightness to -100 or what ever looks best. To remove magenta from the stars I'll select stars to be worked on and from the Select tab choose Modify and expand to 5-8 pixels and Feather (from the Modify tab) to 2 pixels. I then remove the magenta using the method described above.

Awesome. What technique are you using to remove the magenta from the stars? I've been lazy to add that to my process and need to do it.
