Pixinsight Processing Tools

Advanced processing scripts for astrophotography. Built to preserve signal, remove artifacts, and respect the physics of your data.

Compatibility update

Ready for PixInsight 1.9.4 and Linux

BB-Astro scripts now use the V8 JavaScript runtime required by PixInsight 1.9.4. The update repository installs the current V8 release on Apple Silicon, Intel Mac and Linux, while keeping a compatible historical release available for PixInsight 1.8.0 through 1.9.3.

Linear Pattern Correction

LinearPatternCorrection

Detect defective rows or columns, inspect the selected-line model live, and subtract the pattern without saving and reloading a defect table. Version 1.1 protects bright galaxy structures from false partial-line corrections.

Version 1.1.0

One continuous workflow

  • Live selected-defect mask and line model
  • Complete and partial row or column detection
  • Bright extended-structure protection
  • Pure PJSR, no Python dependency
