Hi Chris,

Good start, nice sharp stars.

Hope you don't mind but I had a play with your image in Photo Shop.
I backed of in magneta in saturation, then went to selective colours and baked the magneta more neutrals.
Then I used the magic wand to select one star, and the similar to get all stars of a similar size and brightness.
I increased saturation and deselected, applied the same image with multiply to itself then reduced opacity by half.
I did this several times.

You can see some colour in the stars now and has more contrast.
Don't know if this helps worth a try.

Cheers,

Justin.
