Thanks Ivo, that's great. I will try it.
Do you have any suggestion what color settings should I use in color module?

Hi!
Is there any way to make my SHO image to resemble RGB or OSC image? How do I blend channels to approximately get color just like those with broadband cameras? I know there is information missing to get all spectrum, but anyway.

Great! Thank you Ivo.
Startools is getting better and better.

Hi Ivo!

Hi Ivo. Thanks for your reply. I've tried that and with not much success. However I found one way to deal with blue rings around stars. In Shrink module if I set color taming to several pixels, blue rings dissipates into background which is exactly what I want. But then star color suffers as well. I...

Hi! Is there a way to reduce star bloat in OIII channel? My OIII channel has bigger stars than that of Ha and SII and when combined there is this blue ring around stars which is quite annoying. When shrinking stars is even more pronounced. There was mentioned to shrink stars in OIII channel and then...

Thanks Ivo. Will try that.

I'm still learning ways of processing images and when new feature comes I reprocess old data and make it even better. New 1.7 version is progressing nicely with lo...
