Following some suggestions here’s an alternative crop of my Carina image showing the Keyhole and Eta region
Using Startools V1.6 to process but this time performing a heavy crop before the main auto stretch and then processing the image as normal after that
Seems like you don’t lose to much dynamic range and resolution across the image, if fact you don’t lose control of any functionality and performance in any of the processing modules , which goes to show Startools is a tremendous processing software by retaining all the linear data and detail in tact regardless of chopping the image in half or quarters

Synthetic Luminance version
LRGB version
