Official StarTools support forum

Hi, I have added functionality similar to this in the latest version of STReplay (v0.62.86) see here When used in 'Monitor Session' mode there are now two options: Save session log with image Save session masks with image So whenever the image is saved the StarTools session log and/or session masks ...

You are right - setting the 'Luminance, Color' to 'RGB, RGB' would ignore the L channel - not what we were after.

Thanks Jochen, thats great!

How do you want me to link these to these techniques? Should I just refer to the above post or should I put them in the 'Special Techniques' section of the appropriate 'Module Use' post?

There are a number of special techniques described in the 'Module Use' posts in the User Notes forum. These have been gathered from a number of different sources including many from this forum. I thought it might be useful to have a table of these. The links in the table take you to the related 'Mod...

This uses StarTools version 1.3.200RC so is very old - but the approach still works. In those days there were no X/Y slider...

Perhaps Ivo will tell us how the masks are created. The Apodization Mask also acts as a guide for the deringing algorithm. I think you can block deconvolution of individual stars selectively just by removing them from the apodization mask. If you sample one or more stars then the atmospheric PSF Mod...

Hi, I was just about to post my reply when I saw Jochen's response. This is how I understand the use of the Apodization mask. I'm sure Ivo will respond if I've misunderstood. Does the ApodMask button create a different star mask than the regular Mask button? Jochen is right in that there is a differ...
