Ah yes I see it now. Its the dreaded decon!

I've softened the stars and muted them a tad using a different approach. Yes better now.

perhaps just tone down the brightest stars to add a little depth to them.
but i still love this image especially the colour of the galaxy and nebulae...
well done

Cheers John. Adjusted, it does look better now. Decon can give stars a hard edge sometimes, the downside of it.
I was very happy with the colours, much better than I have captured before. I am wondering if the blue response of this Sony chip is superior as I have seen that lovely blue colour before but only from very large telescopes. Usually the colour is bit more cyan.
