always been StarTools for me Grant.   Hawian Pallett Ha to Red, G to OII, B  to SII  - something a little different.
  (ver 1.7).

Just a heads up - if you've done the research and the trial versions and decided to purchase any of the Topaz Labs modules -- I'm not going to shout out saying it's this or that - I secured the topazastro15 deal on all Topaz products  the DSLR Imagin Group, the Startools imaging and Astro Mounts Facebook groups a while back - a lot of Astro ladies and Gents are advocating Topaz Denoise in particular - must admit I'm really glad its in my toolkit - the final icing on the final Astro Image cake.
Topaz Labs - are currently running a "holiday" promo  - so using the additional FB group discount code "topazastro15" that saves a further $9 making the total $50.99 for Denoise

Pixinsight analogy for me is akin to driving the car knobs, levers, buttons and things all over the place to get it working- but I'm confident they work for me so how they work I'm curious of but much of it I'll never understand  lift the car bonnet up have a look then put it straight back down ~ anyway stop the waffle - I took notes on Sunday and actually followed them on Monday worked really well...  a zoomed screen shot from Sunday night 10 X 360 S.Xpress 25C CCD / Tak, FSQDX 85

although just as you think you've cracked it along comes Gary P. with a few golden PI nuggets that will enhance things further... more homework though...  hardly touched the Guitar too busy making notes -  lol.

Sky @Night Magazine can forget any future subscriptions.. pointed out to me quite a while back the lack of .. this month "NO UK IMAGES" in the readers Gallery ~ we're not good enough for a UK "BBC" magazine ... they'll take yer money though ~ no more they won't.
