You did quite a nice job, Lee! It is a difficult target.
Might be worth trying MaskedStretch instead of HistogramTransform to control the stars a bit better. I don't use it a lot but some people like it.
You can also reduce the stars post stretch with a star mask and MorphologicalTransformation. Sometimes a star mask and a brightness reduction with CurvesTransform and/or HistogramTransform does a nice job too, especially for the largest stars.
Cheers,
Rick.
