Amp Glow

I have a ZWO ASI AIR 183MC CMOS Camera which is known to have AMP Glow. I have added darks to my stacking process and I still have AMP Glow on the right side of my image. I tried to crop most of it out but you can still see it and I don't want to loose too much of the image by cropping out too much....

GCPU Utilization

I just upgraded to a desktop that has a dedicated GCPU processor. How can I monitor the usage of GCPU in Windows while I am running Star Tools ?

Hot Pixels

Star Halo from HorseHead Nebula

I have a very large Star Halo from a very bright star (Altinak) in my astronomy image of B33 and I was wondering how to remove the Halo using Star Tools? I also own Affinity Pro (very similar to Photoshop) and was wondering if that would also be an option? I will provide the URL for the TIFF file if...

Re: Dark Line from CCD Camera

Ivo,

Thanks that's great news since I am using Star Tools 1.7

I was able to get rid of the streak by setting a mask and then using 'heal' to get rid of it.

By the way, I love the improvements you made on ST 1.7.

Repair Versus Healing

I would like to understand the difference between Healing and Repair for my stars?

I have used both and they seem to do the same thing.
