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.

Any development of noise grain is tracked and marked for removal/mitigation during final noise reduction.
- Usage (under Color)
A second unique feature of StarTools, is its ability to process luminance (detail) and chrominance (colour) separately, yet simultaneously.
- Stage 2: Accentuating your image with narrowband accents (under Usage)
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.
- Stage 1: Signal stretch and contribution calibration (under Usage)
It is important to understand that the signal as show during this first stage, is merely signal that is up for consideration by the second stage.
