A couple of tiny additions cleans it all up very nicely. A quick run of the Photoshop “despeckle” tool works absolute wonders (top image) and the last couple of stragglers are removed using the “Spot healing brush” tool in Photoshop (bottom image). Russ Croman’s StarXTerminator together with some basic Photoshop tools does a pretty amazing job on the JWST images – and I’m sure this combo will do an equally amazing job on your astro-images.
