Added more hydrogen with oxygen and shot the stars in RGB, of course they are fluffy and there are many of them, but they appeared in the center, in the previous version they were not visible.

Photo description / processing
It turns out to be a very difficult object to process...
But I figured out how to work with masks, everything was automatically overexposed if I wanted to stretch the wings. That is, two options: either the wings are white in the center, or no wings but the center is normal.
I made two stretches: one with wings, the second the center, then masks, and then addition in PixelMath. Of course, all actions without stars, working only with the background.
