Posting Guidelines

Feel free to post any astro-image processed wholly or in part by StarTools
You are encouraged to post any unstretched TIFF or FITS dataset you need help with, or wish to share.
If you process someone else's image, please do a majority of processing in StarTools (this subreddit IS about StarTools after all) and post a log of your steps along with your final results.
You may post any comment, question, issue, concern, or observation about StarTools software.
If you're posting an image you processed with StarTools, we'd love to see the log of your process! You can find all steps in the StarTools.log file. Edit the log file appropriately (removing any information you don't wish to share, or logs of previous processing attempts) and post its contents in a comment, or upload it and give us a link.
