Hmm….
For 6.5 hours it looks a bit thin in detail plus there’s some artifact halo around the object and yes stars are affected either by atmospheric issues or post processing ?
The original image for 2 hours worth looks much better to be honest, it’s a 9/10
How was the dew or fog around during the night ?
In regard to stacking time in DSS for hundreds of short subs , I found reducing the amount of detected stars ( Star detection threshold) to between 15 and 20 stars helps speed up the processing time. I think from memory DSS can stack on only 8 detected stars
Also I know I’m an absolute pest but I can’t see any reason to use Photoshop after Startools ( It’s in black and white in the Startools Do’s and Don’ts plus Ivo the developer has warned me against mixing other post processing software with Startools) Saying just because I can and I don’t care is not logic to me. Ivo is a lot smarter than me and I listen to him , everything he has advised me has been spot on. Just yesterday he resolved my issues with SV Decon module and now it’s working really well for me , whereas as before I just ignored advice. Now I listen
Cheers
