PixInsight
Scripts and processes for PixInsight. Each tool's page has the repository link, installation steps and further details.
Reduces the horizontal banding that affects images from some Canon DSLRs by equalizing the background brightness of each row, with optional highlight protection. Georg Viehoever's original script has been ported to the current PJSR library, so it runs on PixInsight 1.9.4 and later, and now includes a preview with zoom and screen transfer function (STF) controls.
Repository and installation
ASIAIR cannot write filter information to the image header. FilterZWOFit lets you pick a filter from a predefined list and writes it to the FILTER keyword in the FITS header, either for the active image or in batch mode for all images in a selected folder.
Repository and installation
A native PixInsight histogram and statistics viewer that follows the active image. It offers RGB and grayscale views, logarithmic axes, zoom and range controls, percentiles and clipping statistics. A native PCL port of Seti Astro's original histogram tool.
Repository and installation
Shows the histogram and statistics of the active image without modifying it, with channel curves, logarithmic axes, zoom and range controls, percentiles and clipping statistics. This is the same tool as a PJSR script, with the limitations that come with it; for the best performance, use the native PCL version above.
Repository and installation
Subtracts a constant pedestal from an image, based on the minimum, a low percentile or the first non-zero value. The pedestal can be calculated per channel or globally; the result is clipped to [0, 1]. Also ported from Seti Astro Suite Pro.
Repository and installation
Uses star shapes across the field to diagnose optical and tracking problems such as sensor tilt, incorrect corrector spacing, field curvature, coma and tracking errors. It can also analyze a series of frames.
Repository, installation and handbook
Lets owners of uncooled DSLR and mirrorless cameras match dark frames to light frames by temperature. The script recursively scans folders of light and dark frames and writes a CAL-TEMP FITS keyword, derived from CCD-TEMP using a configurable rounding step and a fallback temperature. PixInsight's WBPP script uses CAL-TEMP to pair darks with lights.
