You have well earned to be. Diffraction spikes are a science.

For sure! I never realized how hard they can be! I definitely feel that I'm not quite there, but getting closer.

Oh! That reminds me, read a very neat tutorial on highly detailed diffraction spikes earlier this Winter, but unfortunately lost it.
Only remember it was in the comments of a then-recent space art DD.

Those spikes look smooth, good work! I wonder if depth of the painting would be enhanced by changing their lengths between stars, as if more or less covered by nebulae.

It's a nice idea. However, diffraction spikes are an optical artifact of reflector telescopes that use a thin metal support structure for the secondary mirror. Their size is determined by the brightness of the corresponding stars.
