Looks good Erik. I am trying to learn better star control re color and size so I am far from an expert but I have found a couple things that seem to work. I use MT with a mask in PixInsight to reduce star size a bit. I also mess with the STF function if an auto stretch blows out the color. I have had some luck with Masked Stretch but not consistently, operator error I'm sure! In PS, I've tried using the magic wand tool set to 11x11 to select bright stars of similar size and apply curves to reduce the brightness and then feather out to blend in. Also in PS I've tried the minimum filter with some success.
