Thank you JA and thank you Chris.
I have nearly completed my first genuine LSHO image using Startools and hope to post the result shortly ..I will do a new thread.

I am rather happy with StarTools as my data although from a dark site is way over on gain and no dark used but StarTools seems to remove the noise rather well..well it does..I mean I go up to 450 gain which is crazy according to any table that I have looked at....but I still have no guiding and exposures are only one minute and so I crank up the gain past where it should be...StarTools must have had a fool like me in mind given the way it reduces noise ..you should see my stuff before noise reduction in StarTools...I expect my noise is still bad but happily it is at my stage of ignorance just not there anymore...The more I work with StarTools the more impressed I am..it is really a great program.
The LRGB thing I am doing at the moment in Startools seems to be producing great results even though a mug is at the wheel. I hope I dont give Startools a bad name but it just seems to have deeper levels each time I use it..I think it is a great program and probably much better than the price would indicate.
Anyways the cake is in the oven right now and shortly I will post a result...but any issues will be mine not StarTools..it's like this program is for beginners who can take it to any level way past their competence...
This is so exciting ..it's nearly done.
