Thanks Marc! I guess you mean slightly white clipped? Looking at the luminance stretching, the histogram shows a tiny spike at the extreme right even before any stretching. This is a little taller after some basic stretching, so I don't see any way to avoid it? It was an exceptionally steady night when I took the luminance, so perhaps the stars are showing sharper edges around the saturated cores where they would usually be a little softer?
