Here is another version just for you Andy, done a slight sharpen. I can see what you mean by it looking soft, definitely shows up when comparing the two at like 400%.

Were you attempting to put some colour in the stars, Colin, or just trying to remove the magenta? If you're just trying to produce clean white stars then that's fairly easily accomplished by processing a separate lum (with stars) and colour (without) as per JP Metsavainio's tone mapping process.

Cheers,
Rick.

Actually trying to put in some coloured stars, got some nice blues and reds but there are quite a lot of white.

Nice one Colin, to my eye that looks much sharper, clearer and suits the image. Well done

As Marc would say, "One for the cool wall"

Very nice Colin. I suspect though your monitor is not calibrated as the yellows look lime yellow on my calibrated monitor but on my bluish biased laptop they look fine.

I have carefully checked my monitor and it is displaying daytime images of scenes I am familiar with perfectly hence my comment.

Nice and sharp and great detail. Well done.

Greg.

My laptop isn't calibrated, just have a MacBook Pro 15" that I do editing in all kinds of lighting conditions
