Thanks Adam, John and Kanga
Obviously the main body and core of the Tarantula has plenty of depth and brightness in order to allow ST to work its magic, whereas the outer regions due to only 10 subs had a very high noise floor. Stacking only 10 subs really doesn’t boost your SNR a great deal , 60 to 100 + subs an entirely different story.
Spatially Variant Deconvolution ( SV Decon ) an entirely new concept / module in Startools V1.8 worked beautifully in the main body to sharpen up the fine detail including stars. Took a while to get my head around it through testing it but now getting much better results than traditional Deconvolution, even on noisy data.
In regard to posting images , I do post on various other forums but not Astrobin
I should open an Astrobin account next year
Thanks again
Martin
