Karl,
This is my rough Startools workflow for this image -
Bin 50%
Develop 75%
Crop
Wipe 75%
Decon
HDR reveal core 1.8 to 2.0
Contrast Aggressiveness 30%
Sharpening amount 250%
Colour star mask - colour all stars only ( bluish white )
Colour invert mask - colour Nebula ( RGB to taste )
Denoise Grain size 5 pixels , read noise compensation 50%
Magic -Create Star mask invert,use Lassoo on 3 large Stars, use Magic to Shrink and reduce halos plus Shrink the odd hot pixel
Magic - Create Star mask use Magic to expand core of all stars
Filter - create Star mask, conservative nudge
Save to file
Finished
Cheers
PS: trying to get my head around Layering to clean up the core in M42
