There are a few other ways to address this with processing such as relayering the master as a star mask that is not passed through deconvolution which I may progress with in the next few images. Thanks for the feedback.
I was going to shoot IC5332 actually but man, there are just sooo many cool galaxies to chose from this time of year

Hey I am not one to see a great image and only comment on the star shapes and to me they don't stop either image from being visually very appealing I was only asking because I noticed them and was a little surprised, that's all they look elongated virtically and slightly diamond shaped to me

Mike
