Thanks muchly Colin. I'm slowly improving my algorithm for making them go away. The size of the box I automatically put around each star matters a lot and I'm not getting it right with the little ones. Perhaps the little faint ones should be left unbleached.

One at a time they leap out instantly, but I've collected them over many years of staring at lagoons.

Cheers, Paul. It does give an aquatic look to it. We try to stick with Hubble palette, set the zero point accurately from the histograms, and balance the overall colour to be on average neutral.
