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
