I agree with Rick's comment that the tightest stars need a mono camera. I was never satisfied with my experiments with a colour Trius and gave up for exactly that reason. Have you ever tried the Pucker Tool in Photoshop? It's located in Liquify and can do an amazing job shrinking stars.

Thanks Peter. One point to note is I got less bloating on the same exposure length during another session. I reckon it must be some sort of dew/ice, though I agree shorter exposures are worth a try next time too - not least for colour. Thanks - will give it a go.
Though now to some extent a bit moot as I'm just awaiting my mono camera from Bintel in the mail tomorrow or Monday
!
Never come across that Photoshop tool you mention. Though PixInsight has what sounds like a similar tool. Might be worth a try too.
