I didnt have a PS "workflow" as such, all i did in PS was separate the stars, curve it a bit, boost saturation, put the stars back in and that was it. I didnt change the mapping at all.
Just for fun I did the same thing in startools (converted your jpeg to tiff 1st), its the 1st time ive actually tried a colour pic in Startools!.
To my surprise, I got exactly the same effect just using the contrast and colour modules !. And with more control with the astro specific tools too.
I didnt do it this time, but you can seperate the stars out in ST and put them in later too of course, as you know.
It all takes a bit longer in ST than PS (useing Starxterminator) but same result.
In the end, the only difference with your processing is you are not removing stars 1st and far less aggressive with curves and saturation (and a tiny bit of colour tweaking), which is a subjective thing.
