I used no decon on my stars either, I only apply it to the nebulosity, sadly even after 13 years of using Astroart, I haven't mastered applying its decon filter to stars with a satisfactory outcome   ...and I use no other image processing software other than PSCS3+ 
As for drizzle...well, to be honest, no idea about that, should look into it.

Hi Mike,
I use Drizzle in Deep Sky Stacker.
They explain it here:
http://deepskystacker.free.fr/english/technical.htm
There is a mouse over picture if you click the 2 blue lines to the left of the picture.
They show only 2x drizzle & the resulting difference.
You have to use the custom rectangle to select only a tiny portion of the picture but
that's exactly what you have on your target.
I prefer to use 3 x Drizzle which means it will increase the size of
that small portion of your image by a factor of 9.
It really is magic & is the method they use on some Hubble images to
extract that bit of extra detail.
It's amazing that DSS offers it for free!
cheers
Allan
