Interesting, the exposure looks slightly better despite a little too much
opacity/uniform visibility of the starry streaks But what gets me curious is
that the overexposed areas seem to have shifted towards the blue... did you
initiate this on purpose? or is it something this macro would always do?

The overexposed areas were already bluish in Jaime's original.  The blue
is not evident in a PNG or JPEG render because of the overexposure, but
I post-processed an EXR render, which does record the overexposed color.
