Great rendition Harel! Greg could be onto something regarding the stellar profiles. Perhaps sampling not ideal though heavily oversampled data loves deconvolution to tighten them up. Personally I don't mind the stars. Kind of gives the image a dreamy feel. I tend to associate soft stars with soft details but this doesn't appear to be the case with your image as the dust lane is revealing structure from all angles. Excellent. You could always bring out the PS liquify|pucker tool on the stars. Very powerful. Easy to bring a size 16 model to a size 10 so it can work wonders on stars. The only challenge is to keep star sizes relative to one another. Thanks for sharing.
