....Stars are never all white

I'm still playing with the data on this one, and appreciate the feedback.
I may be female Peter but I'm not stupid!!!

Yes I do know that there are different colour stars and they are not all white.

I didn't comment that the stars were the wrong colour just that they had harsh blue halos.

My point was that the stars in your image were very over saturated and compressed giving the harsh dark blue halo. They looked very unnatural.

I'm pleased to see you have reprocessed the data and they do look a little better now
