Official StarTools support forum

Reading through this section of the forum I know see that my stars don't have halos and are how the stars are truly meant to look with a tight centre and the glow around it.

Thank you Mike, I'll give that a try.

Hi
I can't seem to find the banding module in the latest version of star tools 1.7.461. I was hoping to use this on the horizontal banding I get from my Canon 600D, is there another way of removing the banding ftom my images.
