Stars with black centres

#1

Post by Howardk »

I am live stacking and my bright stars all have black holes in their centers

This has never happened before

No enhance color or background subtraction or color calibration

With the latest update…v4.2.14968

Anyone else seeing this?

Arcsinh seems to be doing this
Reciprocal power and stars are fine

Hi,

thanks for the report - I found that this happens with the Arcsinh stretch *and* the Enhance Colour *not* selected *and* the white level reduced from the 100% point by any significant margin. Useful to get that reported - I will fix for the next update.

cheers,

Robin
