SSLM - SeeStar Library Manager
HiMy seestar library was becoming to big and taking to much time to manage manually so i created a small tool, SSLM, which allow the below (Readme file) and also posted some screenshot after. Still experimental but worked well in a local copy of my seestar library. Very useful to clean up and prepare exports for Pixinsight or SirilIf some of you are interested, i have a github repo for it and can give you access.ClearskyAstronoobSSLM - SeeStar Library Manager🔭 A local web application for managing astrophotography files from SeeStar telescope devices.SSLM (SeeStar Library Manager) helps you organize, analyze, and maintain your astrophotography library with an intuitive web-based dashboard.✨ Features📊 Interactive DashboardCollection Statistics: View total objects, file counts, storage usage, and date ranges at a glanceSidebar Navigation: Quick access to all dashboard sections (Summary, File Types, Catalogs, Objects)Catalog Breakdown: See your collection organized by astronomical catalogs (Messier, NGC, IC, SH)File Type Analysis: Detailed breakdown of .FIT files, JPGs, thumbnails, and videosSearch & Filter: Quickly find objects by name or catalog🎯 Object ManagementDetailed Object View: Complete information for each celestial objectSub-Frame Detection: Automatically identifies objects with sub-frame directoriesIntegration Time Tracking: View total integration time per objectSub-Frame Statistics: See breakdown of .fit files vs other files in sub-frame folders🧹 Cleanup & OptimizationEmpty Directory Cleanup: Identify and delete empty directories safelySub-Frame Optimization: Remove unnecessary JPG and thumbnail files from sub-frame foldersGlobal cleanup: Clean all sub-frame directories at onceIndividual cleanup: Clean specific objects with a single clickSafe operation: Your .fit files are never touchedStorage Savings: Track freed space after cleanup operations📥 Import & OrganizationImport from SeeStar: Copy files from connected SeeStar deviceRemovable drive support (E:, F:, etc.)Network path support (\seestar)Work with Local Copies: Manage existing local astrophotography collectionsSmart File Detection: Automatically recognizes SeeStar file structureMain object directoriesSub-frame directories (_sub folders)Mosaic captures🌐 Mode SupportOffline Mode (default): Full functionality without internet connectionOnline Mode: Additional features when internet is availableSettings Management: Configure default import strategy and operating modeScreenshot 1Screenshot 2

彩色相机伪哈勃色处理流程
彩色相机制作伪哈勃色，必须要包含双窄带滤镜拍摄的图片，如：optolong L_eXtreme，它可以分离出Ha + O3的信息，当然，如果有Astra C1(Ha+O3) 和 Astra C2(O3+S2)滤镜组，后期分离的效果会更好一些。具体处理步骤如下：siril：去星，分离色彩通道为：R、G、B三色图，哈勃色重新合成：运用像素数学获得：中值图 M = (R+G+B)/3, O3=G+B, S2=R-M；再运用RGB合成：Red=S2, green=R, Blue=O3;背景平衡；去除绿色噪点；topaz denoise ai：去除目标和背景的噪点；PS：拉伸目标与背景，哈勃颜色增强调色，修补背景，制作哈勃颜色滤镜；siril：目标、背景与星点二次合成；topaz gigapixel：提升解析力；

Looking to get better photos, any advice is greatly appreciated? :)
I'll drop some of mine I've taken and then you can offer your best advice 😁 With the triangle galaxy how can I bring out more colour as a question? 😃

Object orientation in the sky versus how it comes out in an image: does it matter or not?
Does anyone reeeeeally pay attention to the orientation of a target? Or does anyone even pay attention to that stuff? I know i don't pay attention to north is up or whatever but just wanted to see what yall think. Clear Skies yall!

Does anybody know why did this happened?
I was trying to take a picture of the fire nebula and left the S50 to work but when I returned and hour and a half later this was the result. I did't try the mosaic mode or anything else. Never happened before. Could be because of the earth rotation? Thanks in advance for your help!

zwo asi2600mcpro亮场平场拍摄问题？
各位大佬，为什么我的全新2600mc pro搭配裕纵70sa拍摄亮场还是平场都会出现以下这种色块和亮角。我用d5100冷冻改机和zwo290工业版都没遇到这种情况，然后我把2600mc pro放在信达50ed上面色块和亮角就消失了。只有2600mc pro和裕纵70sa出现了这种情况 图1叠加情况，亮场也能明显看到色块 图2-3拍摄平场色块明显，并且旋转焦平面和焦距和旋转镜头色块位置都不变 图4上了双窄滤镜 今晚测试了是否是漏光，全捂住了也是这种情况 最后一张单图5分钟情况很明显看见重新色块位置和平场一模一样

What happened to Veralux in PixInsight?
I very recently downloaded and incorporated Veralux in PixInsight as a new script, using it successfully on a few astro pics. Really liked its function. In any event, two days after download it has vanished from the PI script tab. I tried to download again ( link from the same original repository) and though the link is added successfully in the PI repository, it DOES NOT repopulate the script tab. Has anyone else experienced this? Any success resolving this?

MultiscaleAdaptiveStretch (MAS) is available in Pixinsight
MultiscaleAdaptiveStretch (MAS, for short) is an image delinearization tool based on statistical and multiscale analysis. It has the following goals:Bypassing the traditional PixInsight STF - HistogramTransformation workflow to perform a consistent delinearization in an image set.Apply a robust delinearization based exclusively on statistical properties of the target image. This provides a uniform nonlinear image representation, a basic requirement for composition techniques like LRGB.Preserve the information of the high-contrast structures while maintaining the contrast of a traditional midtones transfer function stretching.It works much easier than all the stretching methods I've tried before. Highly recommended!
