Alan,  You also need to take the right slider on
levels and move it in to the left.  You can raise the
white point on this one, its a bit dull.  A
suggestion, shrink the stars with the erosion filter,
Pix insight allows fractional radiuses.  then re
combine with layers the nebulosity from the non
filtered shot for a best of both worlds composite.
