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

Hi @Lammertus,

No not there yet 😉

It's on the list to implement.

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:
