I found it and clicked Join.
But it said it's not a survey of Startools images or an auto-include by members, so it looks like we have to link/add specific images if we want to have photos show in the group?
I need to spend some more time poking around astrobin to figure it all out. Just scraping by at the moment.
For my 2403, I finally came up with what seems a fair enough edit, using 541 to hope for better SVD samples. I still don't really like the ringing, but used a bit of no-iteration shrink following color in order to dering them a little more, on top of the 70 or 80% that I had the SVD module set at. So overall the stars aren't as pinpointed as prior versions, though that may also have to do with the OptiDev stretch probably being different. I did fiddle a bit with the ROI and the IFD in order to brighten up the galaxy -- this allows for better HDR module "reveal core" like detail, but blows up the star diffraction a bit too. Trade offs.
Full scale processing (good thing for the new GPU!) also reveals I have some work to do on stars away from center. Maybe backspacing of the coma corrector, tilt, or even something shifting due to gravity. I better figure that out. But, still worth putting up because there are so many tiny background galaxies!
Here's a scaled down and compressed version for the ST gallery. I also went a wee bit stronger on the Ha accenting.

I also added it as a new revision to astrobin, but I can't seem to make a link just to the revision. Maybe because the whole thing was already marked as a "final"? But the old link should go to the main page which will have the revisions. The new one is E.

I think I got the overall detail as close as I could to the crop version. Comments?
If it holds up, I'll see about switching this one into the astrobin final spot. The scale will be the same.
