quick/stupid question to know whether I'm doing it wrong...
Do you remove/protect the big stars (the one with refraction spikes on newtonian scopes) from the general mask when applying a deconvolution or not?
If I don't, the dark rings are harder to prevent from on those stars because they are emphasized by the spikes surrounding them. And if I do prevent from them, the deconvolution is far less effective (on what I really care about), because I had to reduce the effect too much while adjusting the global dark parameter.
So, should I remove the few big stars from my general mask to just ignore them during deconvolution? or should I try to include the spikes as well in that mask? Or am I doing something wrong when fine tuning the deringing parameters and maybe I shouldn't have this issue if I were doing it somehow better/differently?
(it seems to me that reducing deringing also reduces the deconvolution effectiveness)
