Thanks Mike. I used BlurXterminator for deconvolution but dialled it back so there is just a gentle sharpening. I've included the luminance without any deconvolution or sharpening (just noise reduction and stretch) for comparison. The main benefit was reducing star size. I've always been a fan of using gentle deconvolution but never a fan of vigorous deconvolution! It has been a very tedious thing to do in Pixinsight but much easier now though.
