Official StarTools support forum

Hi
I am wary of downloading from an unsecure site, perhaps you have drop box or similar site.

Hi
As the same can be seen on a processed image in PI it is not a bug with software.
Are you dithering (when you take the images)?

Working backwards has any kit changed since the last good images taken?
Has the mount changed?
Have you started guiding?
Have you changed power?

Just sharing that DDS 4.2.3 has the function to no white balance in processing which is great with the new StarTools capability.

Hi Troy That's good to see you are embracing your hobby, that will be stimulating.

Re filter I was wondering if the Ha was through using a filter and that had reflection issues and was causing the bloating on bright stars if it was every imaging session.

Are you using a Ha filter with your modded camera?

Fantastic 4.2.3 has now been released (though currently I got it from guilt hub)

I just learnt one of the draw backs of liking to use bleeding edge, DSS 4.2.3 beta 2 has just expired, oh well, I wait for the next beta version and go back to using 4.2.2 and will have to wait a bit longer to use the new 'no white balance processing'
