I am working on an image of B228 (camera: 533MC) and I have almost 120 frames of 300’’ with a simple Uv/Ir cut filter.
On Pixinsight, when I try to separate stars and nebulosity through StarXterminator so I can work on them separately, 3 stars still remain on the starless image (despite their good size and shape). So when i work on its curves, those stars get inevitably pumped up as well.
I was hoping that on ImageIntegration, I could set up a weight limit on the FWHM value, to control the star size and get rid of the large ones. Theoretically, this could help me decrease the stars’ size overall and cut them off the starless version.
However, even though the SubFrameSelector function counts the FWHM values, the ImageIntegration function does NOT have FWHM as an option.
The only alternative I see left is to note down the images with a large FWHM and manually exclude them from the Integration.
Any other ideas?
