For me, yes, but some find it variable from image to image. I also had a lot of hassle getting Starnett to work at all and then Pixinsight imperiously deleted it from my PC, which got on my wick.

On some images, usually large mosaics, StarX can leave a kind of checkerboard grid pattern latent in the image but that's the only downside. There are different ways to recombine the stars. I don't find one consistently better than the other: again it varies from image to image. I still regard StarX as the biggest technical advancement in AP (hardware or software) since I started fifteen years ago.

Hi Skipper! 

Glad to see you imaging again and more importantly your health is better! 
 

In answer to your question, yes, I find it better than starnet, it is processor hungry so if you have an NVIDIA graphics card it’s worth the effort to try and involve it in the job by adding Cuda and tenserflow etc, there are many vids and instructions online, just make sure you follow each step carefully, it took me a couple of years to finally achieve but reduced my star removal from 15-20 min down to 2 min (old laptop) 

Great image! Btw keep them coming!! 
 

kind Regards
