Cheers and clear skies,
Steve

Hi everyone
With the eye-candy gas and dust season almost upon us once more, I thought I'd have a fling at yet more galaxies in praise of ST's oh so fine SVDecon module. Pre-processed in Siril, the rest, ST 1.9.565 under Ubuntu.

Dunno. :confusion-shrug: No one else reporte...

Any ideas/workarounds?
TIA,

**EDIT: It looks like it's present after the first OptiDev, just not as pronounced. HDR makes it more visible.

ringing around scattered super tiny stars against nebulosity. Hi Problem I've noticed that too. Have you found a workaround or set of values (maybe in shrink?) to offset the ringing? This is an example. Yes, it's enlarged beyond normal but it shows the effect I think you're describing; small stars ...

... almost forgot. No thread is complete without the ai starless version:

All, thanks so much for your interest and tips.
I suppose the moral of the story is to just go easy with the HDR. In fact, just go easy!
Cheers and clear skies,
