Very nice! I always pick up a new way to do a process when I watch your vids. I use your scripts in my workflow. Many thanks for all the hard work you have done in making these available to the community.
Nice concise video Franklin about a great suite of tools that you have developed. These make processing much easier. I hope you have some other tools in the pipeline!
Nothing yet, just off the heels of getting ADBE very robust and working really how we need it. Any thoughts? Some of these came from ideas from viewers!
Fab tutorial and scripts, thank you Frank. Just wondered as to the doner's equipmet ie camera and scope to acquire such good data, number of light frames, duration of the subs and what bortle area they were acquired in?
Thanks for the awesome tutorials (both OSC and NB) and all the scripts you developed. I recently used your statistical stretch, Auto DBE and other scripts and I cannot tell you how much simpler the processing becomes. One question: Can you list down all the other useful scripts/repositories that you have on your PI?

Excelente video. Estoy estudiándolo detalladamente. Voy a adoptar este flujo de trabajo. Solamente que no pude comprar el BlurXterminator. ¿Con qué lo reemplazarías? Muchas gracias y saludos desde Buenos Aires, para vos y tu equipo.
There is no team, it is just me :) for a free alternative to BlurXterminator use AstroSharp here is the link:www.toolify.ai/ai-news/astrosharp-the-free-aipowered-alternative-to-bxt-1847251
Very Effective Process.. Though when I run it on my Linux machine with an nVidia 4060 GPU, I'm surprised how much CPU/GPU it utilizes. I'm curious how long it typically takes without GPU acceleration?!
If you have the cuda acceleration modifications it should be using almost all your gpu. It will try and max as much as it can for blurx, noisex and starx. Without acceleration, especially starx, takes a loonnggg time
Thank you for the great tutorial. I see you have a QE Curve for the Panasonic chip in SPCC. Can you tell me how you were able to get that curve? Thanks!
You can get it here: pixinsight.com/forum/index.php?threads/spcc-asi1600.20318/ There was a pixinsight forum post for it. Once you have the file in PI you go to Process -> All Processes -> Filter Manager then Task: Import CSV FIlter Definitions
@@setiv2 Thank you. I downloaded the .txt file and converted to .csv via an online converter. Unfortunately it doesn't seem to be recognized by PI (doesn't see the file).
@@fishrmn703 dont convert it. Just literally change the extension name from .txt to .csv If you still cant get it working i can extract my xml file and get you a link to it
@@setiv2 Thanks for your help on this Frank. I went ahead and renamed the extension to .csv. For some reason filter manager just won't see it (grayed out) when I point to it.
Hello, very interesing video and I also like very much the ADBE and other tools of the suite. There is something maybe wrong with my installation (latest PI, ADBE 1.6): when I click and drag to define the exclusion region nothing happens; it only drag a bit the preview image but it doesn't actually draw any red rectangle. Any clue ? Thank you!
@@setiv2 Thanks a lot, it works! Sorry for having overlooked the instruction box... I'd have another question actually: why one should choose between "Subtract" and "Division" ? I get acceptable results with subtract, but it would be interesting to have an explanation. Thanks!
What version of pixinsight are you running? Does it freeze at a certain point or does PI just close? Can you share the master image you are having a problem with?
When downloading your process icons, the console says 57 icons loaded but yet Pix remains blank and arrange icons is greyed out. Any clues on what to do? Thanks.
Look at the bottom kinda to the left in pixinsight. there are little boxes there. those are your workspaces. one of them should have a green little square. that is the one the icons were opened into. depending on your screen resolution they may be off to the right as well, so scroll over there
Don't know what I'm doing wrong while using the scripts, but how do you select an area in the image? For instance, at 3m25sec of the video you have selected a specific part of the image. In my version 1.8.9.3 I'm not able to select a region of the image. Please assist. Rregards,
It says in the instruction box of tge script. Shift+Click and Drag. So press and hold the shift key on the keyboard. While holding that key down, click and drag the region you want. Then release the mouse and shift key
@@setiv2 Oups, I was just blind😊. In addition, you took the time to answer me... Thanks Seti Astro! I guess you and your team are the new kings of Pixinsight. Thank you very much for your contribution to the astrophoto world wide community" 💪👍
I don't have any images like that... I do know there is an amazing script to extract your narrowband data from these new duo filters. Then you would just follow the NB process. pixinsight.com/forum/index.php?threads/new-script-dbxtract.23344/
Great job again Frank. Short and sweet.
The Astro community can't thank you enough for everything you and your development team are doing.
It is just me here. I am the development team hahaha
@@setiv2 You and your trusted companion ;-)
Appreciate all of the talent that is working to make Pixinsight better and easier to use. Your scripts and videos are exactly what I need. Thank you.
I have been using your scripts for 2 weeks and I can say...THANK YOU!!
Your scripts and your concise presentations are the best.!!!!
Very nice! I always pick up a new way to do a process when I watch your vids. I use your scripts in my workflow. Many thanks for all the hard work you have done in making these available to the community.
Loving all your videos and scripts. Thanks for your contributions to Astro. Much appreciated.

Sorry about that, windows guy here!

Great example as usual! I wonder what other scripts you have mulling around in the back of your mind.
If you have any ideas let me know! So much of my scripting comes from suggestions from the community!
Thanks! Appreciate all the work on your scripts and the help with the xml file!
Thanks so much! And no problem!

🎉excellent Demonstration and usefull presentation especially for beginners….thanks for sharing
Well done! If you like ai can send you some OSC data with more gradients. 😂 The result of your processing is amazing! 👏👏👏
Nice! Do you think it would be better to increase the SCNR (decrease the Green)? Thank you. 🙂
To each their own with green is how I feel about it. If you want more green reduction go for it, if you dont mind some leave it in.
@@setiv2 Of course! Nothing to do with science and math! 😊
