To do this I'll first need to change my projects' colour settings to RGB, otherwise the lens flare option will be grayed out. However changing to RGB will mean I have to rasterize my project which will remove all the Adjustment layers such as Hue and levels.
Due to this I'll copy the ship, Blue ship and space over to a new project, then after flatten and copy back. To copy the blue over I duplicate the layer by right clicking on it then picking the destination as my new project, I do this as the blurs' transparencies can't be selected by crtl clicking the layer.
To apply a lens flare you need to go to Filters > Render > Lens Flare, this will bring up a window where I can pick 1 of 4 different lens flare effects, the brightness, as well as move the flare source around on the image which also move the flare.
The lens flare is only applied to the selected layer, because of this the result isn't very good:
To fix this I'll merge the layers, then copy back into main project.
