Yeah the odd rings are from deconvolution.
I did read that a good method was to use a standard luminance layer with good stars and a deconvolved layer blended together for good stars and detail or using masks.
But i was lazy in this shot i just made it all deconvolution, needs allot of work.
Ive never used a DSLR but year i can imagine with all the hot nights noise could be a problem.
hi Michael,

The way to avoid rings when deconvolving is to use an inverse mask.
The concept of using stars in a different layer is mostly with narrowband images where we remove the narrowband stars and add RGB Stars to give it a more natural look.
but if its a standard RGB, just create a mask of the stars, "grow" or increase the mask by a few pixels to make sure the star is fully covered by the mask, then inverse it.
That way deconvolve will only act on the area between stars and your stars won't have rings any more.

Cheers
Alistair
