Oohh nice image. A stunner.
If you want to enhance the stars more (your call they don't really need it but it can be an interesting experiment to see if you like it).
Then try this:
1. Select a more bloated star with the colour range tool and adjust the slider until it selects most of the stars.
2. Increase the size of the circles of the selection by select/modify/expand (say 4-6 pixels), also you can use select/feather (4=8 pixels) here as well to spread the effect a bit and blend it into the surrounds of the stars
3. Now you can increase saturation (perhaps do this last).
4. Now you can use the minimum filter filter/other/minimum (1 pixel) watch the stars shrink.
5. Deselect.
Another little trick is once something is selected hit control H to hide the selection circles which can be distracting and you can see the result of your processing more easily.
You can overdo this easily.
Or you can use Noel Carboni photoshop actions and one of these is make stars smaller and it works reasonably well (you can run it several times).
