Nov 28 2025:Â APP 2.0.0-beta39 has been released !
Hi Mabula,
I was wondering if APP can generate a starmask and save that as a fit file.
I can't find that in the tools, maybe it is not there?
Thanks for any thoughts,
Mert
Hello
Is there now a possibility to remove stars and re-put them afterwards (in view of applying treatments to a nebula alone, for instance) ?
You can try: tools --> star reducer to reduce or eliminate the stars. But as far as I know theres no thing like starmask to re-implement the stars (but maybe I'm wrong). I do starnet++ or starXterminator (if you own PI)
It is certainly possible to process stars and nebulosity separately. I do it all the time - you just need Starnet++ and something like Photoshop or Gimp (you don't need PI).
I included some text on how to do this in this post:
