What are some other ways to reduce stars?

Aside from software means , other (more fundamental /
pre-capture) ways to reduce star size / bloat include....
- Use Narrowband filters to replace some/all of the RGB channels
- Stop down the optic/lens with an aperture mask or via an iris
- Change the optic to a less aberrated optic
Best
