Thanks Ben! Definitely worth experimenting to discover its limitations.

The other big bonus with Noise Exterminator is that it can be intergated into Pixinsight, a big bonus for me.

Cheers Peter! I've never used topaz but heard it can damage stars. I also haven't noticed any issues with sharpness using NoiseXterminator. But I'll watch out for it. Typically I apply a mask when reducing noise so only shadows are denoised.
