Sometime I'll have another go at the star mask and try a few more variations to the settings to see if it can do what I want.
And I'll read up on the tone mapping technique too.
I managed to get some SII data last night, although I fear some of it is even more dodgy than the OIII (I'm having some guiding issues I need to sort out). If the data is ok, I might pause on this image and go for a full combine instead. I'm sure there will be a cloudy night sometime where I can revisit this...
