There is some mention of shadow detail striping which might make it less suitable for astrophotography.
As far as I can ascertain the banding only appears when in a normal photograph (as opposed to a night sky image) the dynamic range is pushed in post processing by excessive use of shadow recovery. Even then the noise reduction software in the NIK filter set is said to deal well with the phenomenon.
This should not affect night sky images which are correctly (sufficiently) exposed because usually dark detail isn't required. Boosting dim stars, nebula, gas clouds etc. is usually achieved by layering techniques which shouldn't require push processing of shadows.
