Keeping the diffraction spikes in a final image
I use PixInsight to process my images and It seems every star cluster I've imaged, the diffraction spikes get killed during processing but I would like to keep the diffraction spikes in my final image. Is there any certain technique or process in PixInsight that allows you to keep the diffraction spikes or is it just a result of using to many processes while trying to improve your image.
Thanks
Thanks

Try changing the high sigma rejection on stacking.

Hi Jazzin - Have you had any success maintaining the diffraction spikes?
Are the diffraction spikes still there after stacking but before processing?

This, also maybe turn off large scale pixel rejection.
