I am not a fan of half of the stars either so pick on them all ya'll like! Reworking now but with my lowly 2013 MacBook Pro, some processing steps are, start and go for a shower!
I was comparing 2x2 and 3x3 drizzle to see whether having a higher FWHM (pixels) allowed for harder processing than just a 2x2 drizzle. Worms were considerably easier to control in the 2x2, possibly due to stronger SNR; not being dispersed over more pixels.

I thought they may have been a processed artefact! Good to know I should be trying to keep them in

Thanks Steve, would love to see what your 14" RC could bring up but I imagine it isn't far enough off of the beaten track for you

If you can you dial the saturation in them down say 500%, I think you have a ripper of an image in the making

Takes about 20s to turn all the stars white in Lightroom with its purple fringe remover tool
Don't know what the desaturation % is but it obliterates all purple quite effectively
Last night I started working on a drizzled version, 8.5 minutes to do one pass of noise reduction on a synthetic luminance. Going to take near half an hour to do a chrominance noise removal!!
