Official StarTools support forum

Found the log file - it's quite big - I've emailed it to startoolsastro@gmail.com I've uploaded the TIF file (copy of original stack from DSS but not compressed) to DropBox and sent a share invitation to startoolsastro@gmail.com Admit I used Wipe in a previous attempt but cancelled out as it didn't ...

By contrast here's what I produced just using DSS: Flame and Horsehead2.jpg And while it is noiser (no wavelet de-noising) I think that the stretch is much better as Alnitak isn't blown out, and the nebulosity shows up pretty well (though I freely admit that Startools pulled out a lot more detail in...

When I intially used Auto-Dev, I ended up with a totally blown out monochrome image, so I cancelled out of that and used develop with a DDP of 99% and a ...

Ah, yes. :) ST doesn't use libTIFF. TIFF import for datasets is more of a courtesy feature, as TIFF is an image format Yes, but a FITS/Uncompressed TIF is HUGE, please could you considar adopting libtiff so those of us with limited disk space can take part too :). PS added a few days later: The com...

Thanks
