Official StarTools support forum

I love the enhancements and improvements in the new startools version. I'm struggling a bit with the hdr - reveal function. I'm trying to get it to work as "reveal core" in the earlier versions. Ivo (or others), what settings in the module should I adjust to get what I want.

Thanks Richard

I think this topic has been mentioned before but I don't recall a solution - sorry if I missed it. I have seen so many amazing images of halrgb online but I have never been successful in my processing. This is what I have tried: 1. I have mixed (at the linear level) Ha with L in a variety of percent...

This is a Bi-colour image (Ha + Oiii) of M42 with just an hour from each filter. The core is blown out but I did the best I could to make it as good looking as possible thanks to StarTools. Done with version 7. https://www.flickr.com/photos/rkonrad/51626160637/in/photostream/ Thanks for looking. Ric...

So sorry I didn't reply - yes that was exactly the problem. Garuda (kde) seems fairly full featured yet this software wasn't included. Thanks!

I have what seems a somewhat unusual problem. When I attempt to load a file into Startools for processing, instead of staying in startools, I go directly to "Dolphin" the default file manager of KDE. I'm using Garuda Linux. In this case, I attempted to load a luminance file. That's all I know....Tha...

Hi all, I've been spending some money at ITelescope and captured this minimal exposure M8 widefield. I was surprised with the lack of noise - there was absolutely no need to bin. All narrowband, I enjoyed processing this though I'm not keen with the light blue of the Oiii. Details are just below the...

Hi all, This is a more unusual view of M42. With this target, I usually use the filmdev option but thought this time I would do autodev (which doesn't like the blown out core). The result is a tremendously equalized image with the nebula almost not front and centre! This is from New Mexico at ITeles...

Thanks,

I will try that. I forgot to upload my new files. Could someone (Ivo too) look at the S2 and O3 to see if there is anything odd? Thanks.

Thank you for the "reference frame" advice. I never knew about this. Though I had to go "over to the other side" (Windows):) to do it. If anyone runs DSS successfully on Linux, I'd love to know how. So all channel are nicely lined up but.....now the data from the Sii and Oiii channels aren't contrib...

Hello all, It's been awhile since I was last on this forum...new look I see....hope everyone is well! Being quite frustrated with my own primitive setup, I persuaded my wonderful wife to Christmas gift me with some points towards itelescope.. Nice gift. One of my favourite targets is the core of the...
