Ivo Jager's Tutorial for StarTools Using My M33 Data:

Ivo Jager, the author of StarTools was kind enough to do a video tutorial using the data that was used earlier for the PixInsight Tutorial.

That video tutorial can be seen here:

StarTools Video Tutorial on YouTube

He has also been kind enough to host the data that was used in producing it so others can follow along.

Luminosity Data

Red data

Green data

Blue data

The luminosity data has been aligned with the other channels so should be used instead of the luminosity data pointed to in the PixInsight Tutorial.

Watching the tutorial you will notice how much easier some of the steps are than the equivalent in PixInsight while still delivering an excellent final result.

A big thank you to Ivo for doing this tutorial and for hosting the data on his site. I certainly benefit from it since I also own StarTools.
