Hi Rob : )

All the ingredients are there , maybe too much stretching like you said .
Forgive me if I'm wrong , you are aware that the stars need to be seperated from the nebula , yes ?
Have a great weekend !

Rusty,
What (free) program(s) allows you to split out the stars? I dont know how to do this myself.

Hi Glenn !

I am aware of starnet++ , aparently it's free .

I have Pixinsight and use StarXterminator .

Aparently it is possible to do it without a star removal program .

Thanks Rusty

I downloaded the stuff - seemed like the GUI might be the one. But it wont run or even open for me. Tried unpacking the files to Programs but nothing will open.
