Complex LLRGB composites made easy
This is a very basic workflow using defaults, showing how the new Compose module (replacing the LRGB module in StarTools 1.5) makes complex LLRGB compositing and processing incredibly easy. The workflow details the usual data prep, bias/gradient removal, stretching, deconvolution, color calibration and noise reduction. You will notice this workflow is substantially similar to any other StarTools workflow, even though we are dealing with a complex composite of luminance, synthetic luminance, and color data all at once. Please see video description on YouTube for datasets and other resources.

The Wipe module detects, models and removes sources of unwanted light bias, whether introduced in the optical train, camera or by light pollution.

If we see large areas of green, we know that we have too much green in our image and we should adjust the bias accordingly.

Ha/S-II (Pure Red) + O-III (Teal); uses pure deep red accents for data from the red channel, while using teal green accents for data from the blue and green channels.
