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...

I like Photoshop as in the old days that was it.
The dodge and burn features are very handy as you can brighten some areas, say where you can bring out a bit more nebulosity, and darken areas that are near blown out.
Layering is handy as you can have a super bright image and your normal image and using the rubber bring out a little more brightness in selected areas..or same for darker regions...
The key with Star Tools is generally to avoid altering the "dials" and always look at what is behind the question mark.
I think you could probably just use wipe (after develop is necessary) and noise reduction only in Star Tools and get most of its benefit.
