Not a bad effort at all.
Some things to be aware of when processing in StarTools;
- get rid of any stacking artifacts (you have a few at the borders of the image)
- don't do any pre-processing and keep the data as virgin as possible (to me it appears the data has, at the very least, been color calibrated, while there is also a suspicious lack of background bias.
- i can't be 100% certain but it looks to me like the that the data was pre-filtered or otherwise 'prettied-up' (read: destroyed) before it made it to DSS. You're not using anything other than your stacking solution to convert your RAWs, right? *DO NOT* use any of the software that came with your camera!
