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.

Individual downloads are no longer available. Please use the repository to get the latest versions of all my PixInsight Scripts!

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).


NB to RGB Star Combination Tool v1.5

Tool to take Ha, OIII, and SII (optionally) stars only images and combine them into a realistic RGB stars only image. There is also the option, if checked, to perform my Star Stretch immediately on the output image making it ready to screen back into your image!


Statistical Stretch v1.6.1

Tool to dynamically determine statistical parameters and stretch the image accordingly.
