ProcessStackedMasters
Processes the stacked masters open in PixInsight: renames WBPP and FBPP masters to filter names, linear fits and combines channels into RGB and SHO images, then runs gradient correction, color calibration, deconvolution, and star separation. Any step can be disabled. Appears under Script > chvvkumar > Process Stacked Masters.
Changelog
- 2.1, 2026-10-10
- Star recombination adds the stars image to the starless image when Unscreen stars is off, matching how StarXTerminator extracts stars. The screen blend is used only when Unscreen stars is on. Earlier versions always screen-blended, which dimmed stars. Changelog link in the script window header.
