‘Heal’ saved my bacon

Hi Ivo
‘Heal’ is awesome!
It’s been months for the weather - and work - to conspire in my favour to provide a chance to image Orion this winter.
My humble offering is attached (jpeg only, for size), which is 90mins integration using a Star Adventurer mount, D5300 camera and 66mm ‘frac.
Prior to capturing this, I cleaned all the dust bunnies from the optical train of my little ‘frac. On opening the calibrated (inc flats) image in ST and running Autodev, I was horrified to find the ‘spring bunnies’ had multiplied all over the image. Not even Wipe could help.
Heal on the other hand disposed of the little dears quicker than a starved fox, and with barely any adjustment to the default settings. A nights’ precious imaging saved and two nieces inspired to look up at the night sky again. Mission accomplished.
You are a legend, and ST is a superb achievement, thank you.
Clear skies
Matt
