Digitally removing the stars from astrophotography images, specifically those containing nebulosity, is a method to give the viewer a better look at the detail contained in the gases and the dust of the nebula. Sometimes, a particular target in the night sky can have so many stars that the stars themselves overwhelm the view. So here are some of the images with the stars removed……
The Veil Nebula in Cygnus.
The Elephant Trunk Nebula
The Inchworm Cluster
The Tulip Nebula
The Heart Nebula (IC 1805)
