Bubble nebula reprocessed.

Sorry, there are going to be quite a few of these as I work through my images looking for those which always needed the de-starring/re-starring process.  Here's the Bubble, HaOIIILRGB, 23 hours, TEC 14O, Mesu, Atik 460. Processed mostly in Photoshop using StarXterminator.

I don't think an apology is required 😂, always great to view your images Olly.

Your wish is my command.   The Fireworks Galaxy delivered from the overly insistent starfield which usually splatters as pigeons splatter London...

I feel like a kid in a sweet shop with this new tool.

...and M101.   Great for extracting the very faint spiral arms. This is ae TEC 140/ODK14 hybrid, 30 hours.

An excellent trio of star reduced images, the Fireworks galaxy is particularly impressive IMHO. I am discovering with my explorations into this technique that it does help a lot if you have a decent image to work with in the first place, it can be quite good at enhancing mediocrity, if that makes sense.
I will look at my 19 hr M101 next, I have never considered this galaxy to be behind an overly dense star field, but you make a good point about the faint outer spiral arms.
