LAB to give more yellow at center of galaxy using feathered mask
1 pixel sharpening with mask at center feathered.

Is this better?

Looks better at that small scale, Allan. I've done a bit of a tweak myself. See below...

Thanks, Paul.

It's an odd one, Rex. Thanks for the kind comments.

Thanks, Steve. I usually go a bit over the top. I thought yours was very nice but conservatively processed.
