Here a version where did not remove all stars, which gives less artefacts but leaves the manual clone stamp result more visible.
Another version without channel splitting and only a bit star reducing but showing the halos around bright stars.
What I got better in this version are better background extraction, fainter details in some parts of the nebulae and less noise. Maybe it is worth another try …
