How can I make my Star/lighting pictures sharper?

I only shoot in raw for everything...but you'll need some way to edit the raw file since it's not a 'ready to go' file like a jpeg is...do you use photoshop or something?

RAW is every bit of information that is captured by the sensor. Jpeg is already processed and a LOT less information.
You have to process them, but you get to choose what part of the information is thrown away, not the camera or some random programming. It can make a whole world of difference.
