Greg,

A couple of options for making HDRMT more gentle are to explicitly mask the image before processing with HDRMT (I use PixelMath to combine a luminance mask with a star mask so that stars and dim areas are protected) or to use PixelMath to blend the original image with the processed version.

BTW, I was surprised that the stellar jets aren't more clearly visible in your image. Did you have bad seeing?

Cheers,
Rick.
