Colour at the end of Wipe

[skygaze]

I too have learned to spend more time at the wipe/autodev/mask/re-wipe/re-autodev/remask/re-wipe stage and it does pay off.
And like other points made above, I found better results by EXCLUDING flats, and letting ST take care of the vignetting. Living with repairing dust....
But that is not a good long term solution. Need to pay closer attention to what is happening with the bias/flats in the pre-StarTools processing.
Alister.

Indeed, Wipe does its best, but flats are really essential if you want to make the most of your efforts and dig out that faint detail with confidence.
These days, the quality of sensors and electronics are such, that you can often get away with just flats combined with dithering between frames. Dithering is very important too, second only to flats.

Try using the flats wizard in NINA works with dslr I’am currently trying out waiting to get back out .

So, is the takeaway for wiping the colour data, that it should be even? (I.e., ugly, but evenly ugly)

Yes. A good Wipe result should appear even in both cases of luminance and color (if Compose mode is on and these are processed separately, yet simultaneously).
