As everyone has already said, a beautiful result. Congratulations.
Not sure about terminology. You described how you produced starless, noise reduced versions. So far, so good.
But then you said you used these as "masks" to sharpen detail. A mask is normally used to protect something. One might for example use a star mask, to perform an operation on everything except the stars.
Perhaps it would be less confusing to avoid the word 'mask' altogether, and instead said something like:
"I separated the images into stars and starless, used wavelet noise reduction and sharpening on the starless images, and then replaced the stars".
Regardless of terminology, a beautiful image.
