Description: This image gave me "fits". APP gave me a rough stack due to dithering, and Star Tools just couldn't handle it. I wasn't happy with results. Then APP creator looked at my stack and told me I needed "advanced" normalization, which I didn't realize was an option, and first degree LNC. He was correct, and the improved stack made for an image I liked better.
The star halo remains, a artifact of the L-extreme filter which is apparently prone to them. I need to learn how to process those.
