Canon 5DH, Canon 300mm F2.8L at f/2.8, Hutech LPR filter. ICNR ON.
This image is the result of using EasyHDR on four sets of exposures, consisting of 6X(1,2,4 and 8 minutes) at an ISO of 200.
I used ImagesPlus to convert from RAW to TIFF and correct for flats.
Then used RegiStar to produce a set of four aligned images of the same dimensions differing only in exposure
EasyHDR was then used to produce an LDR tiff and PhotoShop to adjust levels.
I have been playing with star and halo reduction in ImagesPlus with Richardson Lucy enhancement. The trick is to not overdo it.
Here is a version before 'enhancement' 2.8MB

As stars are basically point sources all our optics no matter how good have something called a 'point spread function' which radially spreads the original point source to something larger because of diffraction and aberrations and this can be mathematically deconvoluted by treating the original image as a simple gaussian. This is at best an approximation!
