Hello - anyone using Russel Cromas XTerminator modules to prepare RGB stars before importing to an starless HSO image? What workflow? What results? Thanks very much
XTerminator for RGB stars ?
Yes, and also StarNet v2 when it does a better job (depends on the data).
My process is to unscreen then rescreen after some processing of stars (color, saturation, reduce, etc).

I use StarXTerminator pretty much exclusivly. I’ve used both starnet v2 and found for my data at least I have better results with it. Here is an example if your interested. https://www.astrobin.com/ejng9o/
Read down in the comments about my processing of the my star layer. This is how I process my star layer.
Here is another one as well. https://www.astrobin.com/full/4orxln/B/

Beautiful stars ! thank's
I describe my workflow in detail in a comment reply on this image: https://www.astrobin.com/r6zmqj/F/
That was my first and only image processed with StarXterminator thus far, but it will definitely be my default workflow moving forward.
