change blending mode to darken and stars will become more round.
if you are being more accurate you can resize to 300 % do this then resize down.
it may or may not improve the image as a whole, you can also do this selectively to areas if it affects the galaxy too much and that way minimise any unwanted effects. Worth a try anyway.

Actually the best way to do this is to select just the stars and put them in a separate layer and then do the above process. This avoids messing up the galaxy image. Star selection is dealt with in Ron Wodaski's book the
Zone System and is quite easy to do, but would take too long to explain here.
Great image!
