Many thanks Mike!
I knew it reminded me of something, and you have just jogged my memory of Akira Fujii's marvelous film era photo's I used to stare at in various astro magazines when I was a teen. They were the sort of shots that made me dream of doing AP.... when I could afford it!
The bloated star seems to be a Fujii trademark

Thanks Rick, I had taken many more shots with the view to stacking, but my lack of skill with AP software I really couldn't see much improvement over the single frame.
Besides, this is the only one where the stars are bloated and the other frames look boring in comparison.

Cheers Paul,
I deliberately chose to have Carina slightly off-centre to get a bit of the chook in frame as I thought it would be a more interesting shot overall, but I find my eye keeps getting drawn to the top right corner where the image is less busy and, in a way, looks much nicer. It also has a kind of 3D effect with the blue star seemingly hovering in the foreground.
I'm going to have to target that area next time

Haha yes I have the same problem Kevin.
At home, with the same settings, I would be lucky to get a few seconds worth!
