Stephane,
Can you give me some your clear Sky time ? It’s been the longest drought of clear nights on the east coast in the past 4 years or so
Yes your certainly taking advantage of clear nights and imaging a variety of targets , well done again !!!
In regard to those halos around the larger stars , that’s perfectly normal for your 8” f5 newt , I have the same scope and don’t consider them to be an issue
You could apply a Star mask just on those few larger stars and use a star reduction algorithm ( Startools has the Shrink module which I use and has 2 features ( Dim and Shrink ) which will reduce that halo to taste )

Cheers
Martin
