Anyone knows a software solution for Mac to get somewhat good looking Star Spikes? Photoshop or Affinity Plugins would be fine too. 
I tried Seti Astros star spike tool but wasn´t to happy with the results. Probably my own fault but still.

Frank (Seti Astro) did mention he would make the star spike plugin for PI as well, though in time… I guess after his SAS.

Astronomy tools Action set  is a plugin for Photoshop with a lot of useful functions and Star diffraction spikes is one of them

It has been part of his PI scripts for a while now.

I haven't used it, but if I did want to add spikes, I'd probably use this, and you can try it without buying it, but it's not for Mac.

Or you could get some wire and tape and make a mask. Of course that has to be before the fact…
