Getting to grips with new software can be daunting, but StarTools was designed to make this as painless as possible. This quick, generic work flow will get you started.

The screenshots in this quick start tutorial, use an intentionally modest, flawed DSLR dataset to demonstrate some common pitfalls. If, however, you process high quality OSC, mono CCD, space telescope or space probe datasets, whether they be narrowband or visual spectrum datasets, you will be happy to know that the general workflow and considerations are substantially the same.
