What version of Startools are you using ?

When I use the Wipe module the gradient adjusts the reddish nebulosity into some fairly ugly bands across the image. I adjusted the Gradient sliders in different setting only to get changes in the gradients. I set them all the zero percent and got the last image which shows no bars as I did with the previous version. I was then able to get a better more detailed image. I am not going to give up on the Wipe tool as I need it for colour wiping but I will look at more details later. I usually follow the procedure on the website.

I am using the 1.7 latest version I downloaded last week. It has improvements in speed of processing.

Yes, masking will be another step to learn, Only basic auto star masking I use when required.

Not discouraged, actually the latest output has boosted my spirit.

This one is particularly hard for an un-modded camera. A modded camera should get deeper reds. So far I have to artificially create the reddish tinge.
