Here's M1. Taken with a C11 at f/10, Atik 46exm, HaLRGB, binned 2x2, 300s for LRGB and 600s for Ha. Acquired and stacked with Nebulosity and post processed with StarTools. StarTools is great!

That detail is absolutely breathtaking... :shock:
Expertly processed with beautiful RGB color correct stars.

Thanks Ivo. I used the 'heal' function to remove all the bright overstretched stars, then layered a lightly stretched version back in. Very easy to do with StarTools!

Very, very nicely done - it looks totally natural!
If you ever have the time (and feel like doing it), it would absolutely love to see a short tutorial on this (as would many others) in the Tutorials section... ;) Or is your technique similar to this one?

Where do you thing I got the idea? :-) When layering the stars back in, I use the lighten option.
