Noel Carboni Photoshop actions have a reduce noise as well which works somewhat but probably not as well as your system.

Billoddy!!!!! Where and when did you snap this one off Mr Mayo.....and with my camera!!!! What a stunning image. wow thats sets up a high benchmark for me to attain one fine and healthy day. Full marks for the effort Paul. It is far better processed than anything I could ever do!! I admire what you have achieved!!
Wow! superb image, what beautiful detail!
I tried a few things on your image to get rid of the noise but they
all deteriorate the fantastic detail.
Neatimage on full auto RGB makes it a smooth blurry beautiful image
but you loose SO MUCH structure.(1)
Paint Shop Edge texture preserving smooth filter works reasonable but
you loose some stars.(2)
Hope you don't mind Paul,
