Contained Pixinsight Scripts
This repository contains both new scripts written by me and existing scripts which I have reworked. Details on the scripts or the modifications w.r.t. the original versions are explained in the Pixinsight script documentation provided along with the scripts
New Pixinsight Scripts
-
BBStarReduction.js - a script to apply Bill Blanshan’s star reduction methods (requires StarXTerminator).
Known issues:
- StarXTerminator might fail with an IO error (see console output) when exectued from the script. To solve this, start the StarXTerminator process manually once. Then the issue is gone until Pixinsight is closed. See also script documentation in Pixinsight.
- LocalSupportMask.js - a script to create a local support mask for Pixinsight’s deconvolution process.
- TGScriptSkeleton.js - a script skeleton serving as a starting point for Pixinsight java script development.
