... gradient removal, and star colour calibration tool built in that I can choose to use (and do) instead of the Startools Wipe and then later colour modules (I however, do often use colour module in STools later sometimes as well.) There is also in APP a very good initial stretch, which personally ...

... when processing more or less field filling nebulae or star clusters. So I suppose you are setting the right background level using Contrast module while I did that using OptiDev. It just doesn't matter I guess. I'm often not satisfied about the look of the background that StarTools produces. ...

... revealed a lot of great detail in the core of M 106 :bow-yellow: SV Decon is such an awesome tool, I really love it. And I used the HDR and NR modules. But I didn't use the Contrast, Sharp and Super Structure modules. No acutance ;-) Shrink module of course would help to tighten the blown up ...

Hmm, I guess that's a no then.

... you can pick the Bicolor preset and everything should act similarly to the OSC bicolor you are used to. In 1.9, you can use the extra Compose module options that will pre-select that going into Color, but I think you have to choose the OSC duoband option since there isn't one (yet?) for discrete ...

... file into the red slot and OIII data into the green and blue slots. As you stressed “Ha accents” I wonder if you would like to try to use the NBA module? Hm, interesting. This would mean loading the Ha data into the NB Accents slot. And probably OIII data into all three RGB slots. But I'm not ...

Hi Jochen

Yes, that's a good idea. I've no idea how difficult that would be to implement, but an improvement would be welcome.

Hi Melty, I definetely agree on the Redistribute part here. Mostly I don't need Repair at all, thanks to my APO but if I do, I usually use Warp. Sometimes Redistribute creates "Saturn-like" globs with surrounding rings. I think that this is highly dependent on the star mask, and this is where improv...

Hi, My feature request goes along the line of further refinement of the Repair module. RC's BlurXterminator now has the ability to re-synthesize stars plagued with artifacts such as heavy coma, trailing and astigmatism, via the Correct Only function. The results ...

... something I was doing wrong, thought-wise, but never could get ST to accept a non-linear L to combine with linear RGB to apply as per the Color module. The plan had been to use another program to stretch, where I knew it would be exactly identical in lieu of dynamic. Well, probably just not ...
