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 im a little confused do you mean to make and mask before deconvolve in CCD stacker?
Ive only just worked out how to make inverted masks in Photo shop for the purposes of stretching fainter parts without blowing out the bright parts.
Is that similar to what you mean?
