I do use star masks usually, but in a nut shell, I probably should have taken much more data and not at full moon (particularly with the wider 12nm NB's), not guassian stretched the OIII (or any of the filters really
) so much, as it was thin data and with gradients I had to remove, especially the OIII
....having said that the halos don't particularly bother me and the overall impact of the piece was what I was after in this case...I should really revisit the area, with no or much less Moon and take more data....
