I've tried them all, StarTools, Siril, Photoshop, PI, APP. They've all got strengths and weaknesses, and you just have to choose what works for you.
StarTools is great software, and I use it sometimes for specific things I find it's excellent at. I'll edit an image multiple times in different programs then layer blend the best bits in Photoshop! But that's my workflow and we've all got a different approach. |
"There's no right tool objectively, only subjectively". That's not entirely true. Many tools in astrophotography are technical in nature and not really subjective. Decon for instance is an early step on linear data in PI, in ST this process can be invoked at any time during processing. The creator of PI has stated Decon later (for various reasons) would be far too difficult to implement. ST has done this. PI is powerful to be sure, but its old school linear processes just indicate lazy software development to me.
