Repository for PixInsight scripts and utilities.
To use, add this to PixInsight's repository manager:

Note: Don't omit the ending / or you will likely get a 400 or 404 return code
To see some detailed instructions for how to use these scripts, see the related blog post, Image processing: PixInsight scripts from theAstroShed
If you want to see (or use) the same process icons that I do, check out theAstroShed's PixInsight process icons. If you just want a small set to see how I use these scripts you can download this example set from the above repo (right click and "save as" or "download linked file")
If you want to see some of my (few) images, check out my page on Astrobin, and if you want to read a little more about the gear, trials, and tribulations, you can check out my blog on theAstroShed.
I like to tile my calibrated and integrated master frames, then stretch and zoom them to fit the window. If you check the "automatic zoom calculation" checkbox it will try to find the zoom that works best for each window
Additionally, it will do an STF auto stretch on each window.
If you save a process icon you can drop it onto one window and it will work globally
This script simply renames the main view of an image to match whatever is in the filter, which allows you to hardcode values in your process icons (For example, Red, Green, and Blue) rather than having to manually change them.
You can set a prefix and suffix, for example foo_ and _bar, and the resulting
view name would be foo_<filter>_bar, or foo_Red_bar.
If you click the Batch-mode cheat enabled and save a process icon it will apply to
all image windows rather than just the one you drop it on (kind of like a global apply)
My workflow has changed, and I often end up with SHO & RGB workflows open at the
same time, so I can't just rename something to starless. I found myself
manually editing the image identifier to append starless (like,
SHO_starless). I figured it would be nice to have a way to just append a
_starless suffix. I further figured, hey, I might want a prefix as well, and I
figured that I might as well make it configurable.
This is designed to be saved off in a process icon set that you reload (mine are here, the RGB & SHO workflows). Launch the script, configure what you want the prefix and/or suffix to be, then drag and drop that icon on the image you want to change. You can have multiple different instances to match your workflow.
The bonus is that using consistent names make later steps (saved pixelmath scripts) easier, because the files always have the same name.
