No not the brightness there’s something you can adjust that brings out more stars you might be right I’m not sure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most astro imagers prefer less stars in their images, it shows the object better. What target was you shooting? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think when you stretched the image, you might have clipped the black point, and reduced the brightness of some of the smaller stars.
