Thanks Allan,

I've always had troubles with Star Masks on my images .... I've put it down to the combination of the soft 12" EMC and having NABG cameras I find the glare around the stars is brighter or the same brightes as the object I'm trying to enhance, like the galaxy, nd the bloat so large on the stars that the gaussian blur affects large areas of object around the stars, and leaves smaller stars still being enhanced because they get blurred out

I probably need to try building up a mask from multiple star masks for different star brightnesses and blurs. Considerably time consuming
