Description

More Pixinsight practice of Rick's ColorMasking script with destarring by Annie's scripts in PS.

One insight I now have on this is that I can just de-star all three narrow band images, combine them and process in Pi, then return to Photoshop to clean up the residua of the de-starring later in the process. Much of the residua does not show up until fully stretched in PI.

Rick has been helpful to fully understand how the color masks work. I can now fully control the colors, better do that reading of color combinations.... Key is that the masks as they come out (of a stretched image) show the color selected. Then what you tweak in previews in Curves in PI is what you get.
