Astro Image Primer
Performs the initial correction phases of your image. Start with either a combined RGB image or individual channels. Linear Fit is the default function and allows you to choose which mean reference you want to use. You can choose to add Star Alignment as well as Star Correction which uses the Correct Only portion of BlurXterminator. End with either leaving the channels separated or combined. An integrated window shows you the mean values of the channels as well as which channel the script chose as the reference for Linear Fit based on your reference type selection so you can be confident the reference you wanted was used. No more need to check Statistics for this phase!
Astro Frame Match Analysis
Eliminate the guess-work and time-consuming diagnostic checks when it comes to making sure your frames all match each other!
Using frames that match each other is essential for proper image calibration and quality processing. This script is designed as an easy and fast solution to go through all of your frames to ensure everything is matching and ready to go. It will compare Light to Darks, Darks to Flat Darks and Flats to Flat darks. It will ensure that Gain, Offset, Temperature as well as Mean Brightness (Darks to Flat Darks) and Exposure Time (Lights to Darks and Flats to Flat Darks). Simply choose the comparison you want to run, add the associated files and click Analyze. You will either get a MATCH! with the measured parameters, or you will get a MISMATCH! with exactly what is wrong. You might be surprised what you find :)
Stars Back
Ensuring DSO image and Star image names match and entering math formulas into PixelMath are a thing of the past. Select your DSO image and Stars image in the appropriate dropdown, click "Execute" and let the script do the work for you!
Star Console
Processing stars can seem overwhelming, so let my Star Console script do the work for you. Simply choose the image you are working on and either run with no options selected to get the FWHM (Full Width Half Maximum), Eccentricity and number of stars detected, or choose to have the full BlurXterminator process performed automatically and even choose to have the stars removed from the image at the end all with the click of a button! Also, use the Subframe Star Check option to load Light Subframes in and do an initial check to see if there are potential issues that need further investigating before preprocessing. Select and save potential bad frames for further investigating, delete them from the list and then save the rest to a separate folder to stay organized.
Astro Image Detail
Sharpening your image in PixInsight is easier than ever before with Astro Image Detail. This script utilizes MultiScale Linear Transform as well as MultiScale Median transform to sharpen large structures as well as small structures in your non-linear image. You can choose the strength of the sharpening for each structure type or omit one or the other altogether by use of only two sliders! You can also easily sharpen linear images using the power AI based platform BlurXterminator by use of only only slider! Have NoiseXterminator Installed? Take care of the noise created by sharpening by simply checking the NoiseXterminator box and setting the denoise strength of your choice.
