Im new to photo processing, so if their is a solution, if you could keep it simple for me that would be great.

I have severe halos around the bright star in the attached astro photo. I assume it may have been caused due to the filter I was using with my ccd camera.

Is their a way to remove it.

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Any chance you can provide a RAW file ? The jpeg does not offer enough details for such delicate work.

I use iPad screenshots and videos even in the Desktop section of the forum when I expect no relevant difference.

Possible ways:

  1. frequency separation, using medium blur
  2. deactivate highpass layer
  3. create circle patches, to cover halo. Sample color from surrounding area.
  4. adjust blend mode if required 
  5. add pixel layer. Use inpainting to blend in edges. Use current & below

Filters -> Haze Removal: Distance, Strength: max, Exposure Correction: min. I believe it's a good starting point for the other techniques above. Multiple filter runs don't help. ;-)
