Hey guys, I am having issue re adding the stars with pixelmath in pixinsight. I use starnet 2 to removes stars and create a star mask with starnet2. When I want to re add the stars to the starless image by using pixelmath using the following formula : ~(~Autosave1_clone*~star_mask) . And for some reason the stars don't refill de holes it create from the starmask.

Anyone know's how to fix this?

Thank you for your time,

fwiw starnet splits the image so you add the stars back in with addition, not screening

#

you might want to look into StarXTerminator which can do screening

fwiw = for what it's worth

#

in pixelmath for the stars you literally need to use: starless + stars to add the stars. you're attempting screening with ~
