It's true, I'm not a fan of the little rings. They come from the "edge enhancement" in the "DPP" stretching dialogue in nebulosity. The difference is very good, in that the stars become small and sharper but the ring is an unwanted artefact of that. The slider for Edge Enhancement only appears to have a few stops.. and this is on the first one... as low as it can be applied!
It's probably not necessary though as I usually do a median inverted-layer-mask to smooth the background and sharpen the stars anyway.. but it does work very very well otherwise!
