This video is about our new Star Reduction Script for Pixinsight Software. Mike Cranfield and I decided to give you a graphical interface so you can visualize the star reduction before creating a new image. The math used is based on my previous pixelmath process but has been updated with new options, such as using a small star mask to help protect smaller stars from being reduced, and the ability to export a reduced stars only image using convention unscreening or our new reverse stretch unscreening process. Many thanks to Mike for helping me turn my pixelmath projects into actual scripts! Below is the download links for the Pixinsight repository:
