Thanks for the constructive criticism and encouragement guys.
Multi web, you are spot on. Your extra stretch has definitely bumped it up a notch. I’m always fearful of blowing out / making huge the bright stars in the fov. I mustn’t be doing something right with the star mask in StarTools. I do auto —> Stars—> play around a bit with make blob bigger etc in individual stars / flood fill brighter pixels—> invert—> Keep . But the stars still seem to grow .
I also hoping to extend exposure times with the addition of a Barlow Orion Starshoot auto- guider. It’s a journey but I think the results are improving albeit slowly . Cheers 🥂
