It's all about the processing. Just make sure you take plenty of lights and Flats. I didn't use darks as was dithering. +RonC 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Dave. I used DSS I'm afraid but have just stacked in Regim and will give that a go tomorrow. Used colour then selected a white star and ran from there but will give what you suggest a go. It's all double Dutch to me at the mo. I normally forget about colour on Startools and do all the colour balancing in CS6. I find Startools doesn't give a good colour balance on the stars as you can see from this image. Perhaps we need to get together sometime and you can show what you do.

dave.hardy2 Posted May 2, 2019 Author Share Posted May 2, 2019 I have had a good play with the colour module on Startools and I hope you'd agree that this looks much better there isn't the strange star colours. I did use CS6 to finish it off. I think I have lost some detail in the arms but that is a sacrifice I have had to make to get the colour balance better.
