You can adjust the 0.1 to make the holes where the stars were bigger or smaller. Then smooth the mask a little with Convolution or removal of a couple of wavelet layers and voila!

Thanks Rick. What does the $T refer to in that expression?

I was just thinking of doing something as simple as adding a bright star mask to a range mask, would that increase the masking of the brighter stars or not make a whole lot of difference?
