My work flow for Star Tools is simple..develop (not auto) crop, lens with no adjustments so I am not sure of the benefit, bin ( your choice but lately because of my large files I go for 25%) , wipe..don't touch anything, develop, HDR optimise hard, contrast, sharpen ( no deconvolution) colour, track..which leads you thru noise reduction, be conservative, after maybe repair but most times not...save..into Photoshop and gimp.

Thanks Alex, I will give this a go... I feel like I'm at the start of an extremely complex journey over land I've never been in, with multiple places I'm supposed to visit... but, I have no map, no compass & I can't see the sky..... oh, & I think they spun me round a few hundred times too, just for good measure...

I'm contemplating a move to Lightroom/Photoshop... on the basis that it is more commonly used & thus, I might be able to get guidance from the knowledge pool on this forum... I'm discovering that whilst Affinity Photo is good for most photography work, it's not quite so good for astrophotography...

Cheers
