I liked the blue in the first image though, but just goes to show that you can achieve different results each time. The background is a little mottled and that comes from the “life” module. I think it enhances too much in some instances.
But overall significant improvements can be seen for sure.

PS I could surely use a few tips myself with startools there are so many options I think it’s a matter of selecting the more appropriate ones for each image.
It's definitely not perfect....but much better I think.

That mottled effect came about when I was trying to reduce the number of stars showing in the image......it was a bit of a smudge effect which back fired a little. Before I did it however I had so many stars showing you couldn't see much else!

I find going through the various modules and selecting what looks best and then tweaking from there has helped me. Also greater use of masks has helped me to make some big changes in how I do things.

The left pic in your yesterday's post is looking good. Everyone is talking
double Dutch[as the old saying went] as far as I am concerned when they talk about removing stars and accentuating or diminishing different colours, and all sorts of other tweaking. I just align the RGB cones in DSS and go with that. Absolutely basic, no spending hours and hours trying to come up with my particular version.
I have attached one of my first digital images from years ago.
20x30secs 8" Newt 1100D ISO 1600 All done in DSS in about 10 minutes.
It is a bit black clipped but otherwise I was happy with it.
If I have hijacked your thread I will delete this post.

I guess everything is in the eye of the beholder isnt it......some like one version, others like another.
