I was having a look at this tutorial last night, specifically the 'High-Contrast, Small-Scale Structures' section, Vicent talks about using the Masked Stretch script to lower the intensity of the stars, but his previous step was done on a non linear, pre stretched image and the Masked Stretch was done on a linear image (Taking the median of the stretched image as a target for the Masked Stretch) so....... I assume the 2 were then belended together? Or if not, how did he do this?
