HDR: Automated Local Dynamic Range Optimization

The HDR (High Dynamic Range) module optimises local dynamic range, recovering small to medium detail from your image. The module intuitively and effortlessly lets you resolve detail in bright galaxy cores, faint detail in nebulas and works just as well on solar, lunar and planetary images.

This third iteration of the HDR module (as of StarTools 1.8), makes it easy to achieve natural results with minimal (or no) visible artifacts or star bloat, while making full use of the signal evolution Tracking engine.

A HDR optimisation tool is a virtual necessity in - particularly - deep space astrophotography, owing to the huge brightness differences (aka 'dynamic range') innate to various objects that exist in deep space.
