I see you got better star colour in this version. But there is some wormy looking effect usually induced by excessive deconvolution or star reduction using the minimise filter . Perhaps even some sharpening routines.

So keep in mind sharpening is best done either very subtley (its not a substitute for poor seeing, bad tracking, poor focus, or its even better done selectively meaning you use a mask and brush in the areas sharpened so you control the amount and the area that is sharpened.

There would be tutorials about this. Louie Atalas of this forum, had a nice series of tutorials on basic processing and masks which were very good. Try a search for them.

Greg.
