This is by far the best solution for this that I've come across to date. Although the interface is certainly clunky, the results far outweigh the inconvenience of performing this operation. 
I don't mind the occasional starless image either. When done well and on the right subject, it can teach us more about the structure and form of a nebula, without the distraction of stars.  |
Phew..with you on fixing NB stars. It’s the odd occasion when explaining what’s going on in an image to someone that gives me the jitters...
“So, this Rosette Nebula piccie, what’s that all about then?”
“Well, it goes like this, the highly energetic stars are chucking off so much energy they have carved out this huge hole from the cloud of gas from where they were formed, see?”
“What stars?”
