OK here it is- I redid it to reduce the amount of sharpening. Total time to process was about 4 minutes;

1. Noel Carboni Photoshop action "increase star colour" one time through.

2. Noel Carboni Photoshop action "reduce star size" one time through.

3. Selective sharpening:

a) duplicate layer
b) set to "overlay" mode
c) filters/other/high pass 2.5 pixels enter
d) layer/layer mask/hide all
e) select brush tool, foreground tool set to white and black with white on top
f) rub over areas you want sharpened in this case only the galaxy dust band and nowhere else
g) layer/flatten image

Thats it.

Greg.
