The stars are really blooming quite a bit.

And I like it
I don't like to dim the stars
Because if you look with your eyes, it will be exactly like that, just without color

I mean, it seemed like there was a slight haze here, or the mirror fogged up a bit. Maybe something else. The bright stars just give off too much glare. I have a similar result at F5. Maybe it's due to the zero border. I don't know...

It's the humidity that causes this, creating halos... It was shot during the wet season there... And since the stacking is extensive, that's how it turns out.
