Your stars are great I like the variety of intensity, did you use a mix of decon and shrink stars ?

For me it is just the case of the weather just not being clear so no data to process

Re: LRGB or RGB?

just sharing to me on my monitor the LRGB stars are slightly stronger in colour seen most on amber stars where as the LGB are less colour intense, is that maybe why they appear slightly tighter

Re: Advice on images captured on a Alt-Az Mount

keeping it east or west below 60 degrees helps with field rotation and keeping the focal length down helps, plus keeping the weight down. I find each time I image I have to experiment to see what exposure length works best that night even if I anticipate getting 20 seconds I still test first.

Re: StarTools 1.9 preview

Thank you IVO that release worked great for me no crash with large ui true.

Though on my PC I did not get mask to crash using auto with 552 both exe files tried with ui_large=true and hidpi=true either both or just ui_large=true did not cause a crash in 552 for me W11
