Scripts I have developed to help make processing in PixInsight easier
You can update PixInsight via Resources -> Manage Repositories and add the following URL: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/setiastro/pixinsight-updates/main/
Build 1605 or higher is needed to use the Repository.
You can also download the scripts via zip file and install them manually.
I also have my Processing Icons Available: here
Star Stretch v2.6
Star Stretch will take your linear stars only image and stretch it up to a non-linear state, boost the star colors, and remove any green hue cast. The stars only image will then be ready to combine with your starless image (usually done by screening).
