Removing noise from black night sky

With out pulling detail and tone from rest of photo.  Would you separate on layers and then mask?  I'm working on my post processing and some of the advance stuff, takes me longer to put my arms around.  Thanks for the help.

I'd do this in Lightroom.  With the image open in edit mode.  Press Option and then move the slider on dark bar to the left till colors start popping.  You've just made the darks, darker.  Then go down to the noise reduction from below and slide that to the right to clean up.

Just add that when you are toying with the noise slider, you can toggle the (option) button to mask your noise efforts

LR's noise reduction is what I use often too.  Might I suggest to sharpen after.

I use Noiseless from Macphun. It works great w/ RAW and other formats; even smartphone photos (I use it there in Photos for Mac).

Looks like cool software, the link by the way is  https://macphun.com/noiseless . However looks like its Mac exclusive. :(  Us poor pc folks will probably have to stick with Photoshop.
