Just a quick follow up on trying out the suggestions that you mentioned.
Excellent tips on calming down the stars!
Just a very quick work out in Startools (in v1.7.449a) with default decon. No sharpening or contrast. Slight difference in color balance than your version. I just wanted to run it through to give the stars a workout.
This is without shrink. Shrink works great, but I feel that the star color issue is pretty much minimized already.

I will keep looking into this, but I feel that it is related to tracking and will vary depending on where in the sky my target is. I can work with these suggestions until I can get a better mount (some day).
I thank you again Ivo! Over the top support!
