stars get a sharp centre with some halos

Ah, ok. If you don't like that and have the time [1], either try st v1.8.516's Unglow or simply fuzz the outer bit of the star(s) in layers.

Cheers

Thank you, that was very useful! I applied a mask to the foreground in layers, after HDR, and got rid of the rings in the stars. There's still some in the satellite galaxies, but it's definitely improving. I'll try with other data, but at this rate I can see myself using Startools in the future...

Yes, I can spend hours processing. I love pulling the light from the stacked images! 😇

And some basic star reduction to see better how much nebulosity there is. I must admit that there is more than I could pull with Siril...

Here's my go.

Looks great. As you say the amount of detail is fantastic. You can even see NGC206 to the right end as a star cluster quite clearly
