PixInsight 1.9.4 Scripts

MoP Ported V8 Scripts (Community Ports)

Existing community scripts ported by Peter Proulx to the PixInsight 1.9.4 V8 JavaScript engine. All credit for the original work belongs to the original authors.

DBXtract

Extracts SII, Hα, Hβ, and OIII signal from dual-band filters and OSC cameras, ready for SHO, HSO, HOO and related narrowband palettes. Original work by Raúl Hussein.

DarkStructureEnhance

Enhances dark structures such as dust lanes and nebular shadows using à-trous wavelet scaling. Original work by Carlos Sonnenstein and Oriol Lehmkuhl (PTeam).

GAME — Galaxy Mask Editor

Interactive graphical editor for drawing elliptical and multi-point mask regions directly on a view, with smooth gradient falloff for seamless blending. Original work by Hartmut V. Bornemann.

AberrationInspector

Builds an n×n mosaic of corner, edge and center subsections of a view so optical aberrations — coma, tilt, astigmatism — can be inspected at a glance. Original work by Mike Schuster.

NBRGBCombination

Combines narrowband data (Hα, OIII, etc.) with an RGB image using per-channel weighting and an interactive preview. Original by Silvercup, heavily modified by Ioannis Ioannou (roryt).

MoP V8 Scripts (Masters of PixInsight Originals)

Original scripts by Peter Proulx, written for the PixInsight 1.9.4 V8 JavaScript engine.

 

Batch FITS Keyword Modifier

Professional FITS header manager for adding, editing or removing keywords across many files at once, with live preview, value validation and warnings when reserved FITS keywords are touched.

Batch Rename Files by Text String

Batch file-rename utility with live preview, file-extension protection, and ready-made filters for XISF, FIT/FITS, TIFF, JPG and PNG.

Combine Two Views

Combines any two open views using a chosen PixelMath operation (Screen, blend, and others), with an adjustable blend amount, an embedded zoomable preview and optional auto-STF.

Remove AutoCrop Views

Cleans up the workspace after a WBPP run: selectively removes AutoCrop helper views, renames surviving masters by FILTER keyword, and saves the final autocrop-removed (ACR) files.

Save Selected Views

Batch-saves any chosen views to disk with format selection, filename conflict handling, and a modern checkbox-based selection UI.

Create Synthetic Luminance from RGB

Extracts R, G and B channels from a color image and builds a synthetic luminance using selectable methods (Average, Weighted, Max, or custom weights), with optional cleanup of the intermediate channels.

  1. Download the file, unzip the files and save to a folder.

  2. ​In PixInsight Click "Featured Scripts"

  3. Click "Add"

  4. Go to the folder that you saved the script click "Open"

  5. Click "Done"

  6. The script should now show under Scripts "Petes V8 Scripts"(ported) and "MoP V8"(originals)

Note: I used different menu items so that if the official versions become available via repository they will be updated in their original script menu locations.
