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...
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.
