I think one of the main issue with the previous image is I tried to process without the stars and add them back in at the end. In photoshop I have methods of doing this, but my pixinsight knowledge is low. I've left the stars alone in this case. There's either some guiding error or tilt because the tiny stars don't look quite round to me.

Furgle...
Prefer the last image.
Though stars look totally different in this image...I wont criticize them ..though something not 100%.
Deconvolution is just another mathematical algorithm ..at the end of the day whos main job is to tidy blur....... seen a few overusing it, and images looking obviously artificially sharpened and overprocessed and unnatural.... a pet hate of mine.
Though with also scatter ,noise, glare, blur, differential flexure ,spacing , tracking etc to deal with
, its a reason I stick to stacking sub min for my own enjoyment, and not deal with all the headaches a lot of you long exposure guys go through.
I take my hat off to you for this and your obvious persistence.
Keep up the good work, its a pretty good image nonetheless.
