Here's a quick repro. Hope you don't mind. I did that really quickly so it's not pretty but you get the idea.

From your original picture duplicate the layer then run a pass of gradient exterminator as you have some LP on the left of your field as Mike pointed out.
Create a group folder and dump the Xterminated sub in it. Got to the blue channel (greyscale) and copy paste it as a mask for the group folder.
Then select the Xterminated sub inside the group and apply curves and level to boost the blues. It should only affect the blue areas in your pic because you've masked the folder.

That's the technique anyway. You can refine to isolate the stars or do it a bit nicer than my quick repro.
