Description

My new Pixinsight motto is, blend is your friend!.... : ) When post-processing, I try a lot of paths along the way and and it's not uncommon to have two different versions at some stage where, though quite different, both have some quality I like, or don't like, and blending offers a better result than either on their own. I've also adopted using a lesser stretch for star reduction. I find it to be a lot more effective than morphological adjustments and starting from linear seems to be a bit better than the tools that reduce the stretch from non-linear. Of course, this technique relies on the the effectiveness of tools like the improved starXterminator and Starnet2.
