Official StarTools support forum

Thanks a lot Ivo, it was I supposed. Really wipe does a very good work removing gradients. In this procedure Rogelio apply a different weight to the gradient mask, do you plan add this feature in future versions of startools? About your suggestion, applying a invert mask before a wipe we can select ...

Rogelio Bernal, a great astrophotographer know for a lot of us, shared a removal gradient tutorial in his web. http://www.deepskycolors.com/archivo/2010/05/28/removing-gradients-while-preserving-ve.html I would like to know if it is possible with startools make a wipe processing similar to this DBE ...

I just upload the Butterfly cluster, M6 and Ptolomey cluster M7 also... its a good challenge for processing a plenty stars field

Thanks a lot!

Second attempt... white stars core seems to be related to oversaturation in color module. Mea culpa. :-) http://astrob.in/193781/B/rawthumb/gallery/get.jpg [/url] ----------------------------------------------------------- StarTools 1.4.302 Mon Jul 13 16:46:36 2015 ----------------------------------...

Hi all. This is my last picture of M6, Butterfly cluster with a dark south horizon (this object is only 17º max altitute from my location) I would like to improve the white core in the fat stars (more aggresive in red star of the cluster). I tried magic module with shrink core option but it doesn't ...

Nice image Cheman. I love the colour and detail in the nucleous and arms of the galaxy. Congrats.

Hi all! This is my first black nebula, Barnard's "E": http://astrob.in/187249/0/rawthumb/gallery/get.jpg [/url] I need to adjust the green chanel in Photoshop later to reduce it. :doh: File loaded [C:\Users\Rober\Desktop\barnard\barnard.FTS]. --- --- Bin Parameter [Scale] set to [(scale/noise reduct...

Hi. Globular clusters are very dificult for me too. I use the following trick when I process images with bright stars. In colour and noise module, I apply an inverse mask to fat stars. It prevents green cores in fat stars and works for me.

Regards.

Thanks a lot, I will reprocess my best images now because the color callibration in DSS is mistaken in all of them

Hi again! Ok, I'm very happy with the new version processed with Startools 1.4.302, really I feel an improve in the noise proccesing. The only problem that I found was in the post-wipe. If I use autodevelop a green artifact appears around the galaxy, so I used manual develop in pre-wipe and the arti...
