Thanks for commenting, I’ve only imaged about 40 objects in just over 3 years so if I live to 90 ( I’m 60 ) that means I would have imaged 400 objects and there’s 42,000 observable objects up there ! So got a long way to go
I think I got the maths right ?

Startools has 2 stretch options ( Develop and AutoDev )
I mostly use Autodev which gives you significantly more control over the stretch and exposes more good detail in your image
Startools has a Wipe module which is very powerful and removes most of the gradient, vignetting , skyglow etc... plus a few other modules to mitigate noise. It’s very powerful software which requires a good processor and plenty of ram. I use a gaming computer ( HP Omen ) which has an i7 generation 9 processor and 32GB ram plus 1TB HDD and 512GB SSD
The Colour module has a scientific mode which is great for globular clusters to bring out the different colours in the core and star field
I’ve been using Startools for 3 years now and can’t see myself changing for the immediate future
You should try a demo if your computer has enough processing power
