From an earlier post re one of Doug's pictures...
Try selecting the bright stars in PS using the colour range tool (on your Luminance sub). Once you have the really bright ones selected, expand the selection (3-5 pixels, depends on the resolution of the shot, I used 3 for the Rosette I took with the ED80, but usually use 5 for the stuff with the RC), then feather the selection by 1-3 pixels (depends on the amount you expanded). The go to the filters->other->minimum, select 1 or two pixels, I have a tendency to use two, it looks bad, but don't worry, go to edit -> fade minimum and adjust the slider to taste. Be aware that the ability to fade a filter is only available until you perform another operation.
Rack and Ruin awaits...
Cheers
Stuart
