Oops. You are of course right, Ivo. It's an illusion!
I ran the same data side-by-side and AutoDev stretch - weak or strong, results in the same underlying color cues. Likewise with the binning percentage. But a different bin, or a different crop effectively causing a different relative bin, will alter the quality colors. SNR stuff, no doubt.
The AutoDev can, though, affect the white outlines significantly, as to both shape and size of the profile detected, and the fade away from core. And even sensitive mask won't fully make up for a "better" initial stretch with regular apod mask.
Funny how a beautiful big round star one way, that I would totally jump on with a blue box, can have square sides another way, such that I probably wouldn't select it.
My few times using AltStars, no matter what combination of settings I change, just gives me a sea of starfishies. Or so it appears. Same again trying it just now in SVD -- I can't seem to get separation and in fact AltStars seems way more prone to capturing not only close doubles, but all its other friends within a few parsecs. The white outlines look like a crazy jigsaw puzzle though!
