I prefer the original as the stars seem oversharpened.

To get detail in the object yet not overdo the stars you use a technique called selective sharpening using layers and masks in Photoshop. There are free tutorials on how to do that on the net.

Here is a quick summary:

1. Make a duplicate layer
2. set it to overlay mode
3. use high pass filter
4. layers/masks/hide all
5. select brush and brush the areas you want sharpened.
6. layers/flatten layer

Greg.
