I encourage you to have another go - but tone map so you remove the stars first, Starnet++ is perfect for this - then stretch it as you have & the pop the stars back in.

Here is a great video tutorial by JP Metsavainio on how it's done.

Sorry Andy I missed your post. I started watching the video. Quite good.
I did a repro and will post the alternate version which is fairly different really.

Greg.
