I used to use this method, too, but found BXT affected the stars even if you reduce the influence to 0. This is very likely because BXT simply understands stars as statistics and statistics always have margins of error. You can run BXT without the stars in the image and get great results. It then becomes an AI powered unsharp tool and works great.
I do all my sharpening whether it be with MLT, BlurX, etc before putting the stars back. Stars r always my very last step because these process seem to affect them in one way or another.

That's that. So I do ! StarX THEN BlurX ! I get excellent results !
I really never really noticed it like this before. It’s def noted now
Thanks, Chad.
I will give this a try as soon as my sky clears out, whenever that will be.
Clear skies

Yes I was actually suprised in the video and left it in so others could see and decide if they want to use that feature
Huge noticeable difference when your process is followed. Do you run this as the very final step before saving the image?
Yes most of the time. Especially if I don’t move the image over to affinity photo or photoshop for any final tweaks
