Statistical Stretch Update: To Link or Unlink Stretch, That is the Question
Vložit
- čas přidán 12. 05. 2024
- Continuing taking feedback and suggestions from the community. Script now includes an option to run the Statistical Stretch either in a Linked or UnLinked mode. Various other improvements as well including auto turning off STF when the script is complete, various zoom levels, defaulting the dropdown to the active window and more items!
Keep the comments and suggestions coming as we make this the best little script we can!

This script just keeps getting better and better
Very constructive process between feedback and your updates. This turns your script in an excellent tool. Bravo
Love this script - thank you, it is a huge help.
I was having trouble with processing the Squid Nebula using GHS. My first session with your Statistical Stretch did the trick. Thank you.
That is amazing to hear! The squid is notoriously hard and a true test of this script for sure!
The rate of new developments has been amazing. Franklin, you’re a man on a mission!
I want it nice and ready for when we get some clear skies lol. My CloudlessSky script sadly isnt working :)
@@setiv2 No one has been able to get THAT script to run perfectly!
Automatically disable the STF is a very useful improvement 🎉. Thanks!
Just been playing around with this it has gotten so much better and seems a tad easier than GHS
I hope a fair bit easier than GHS :)
It's a very cool and helpful script. I am in the process of changing for stretching the heck out of my photos via GHS to your Statistical Stretch method. I really like it!
Great to hear!!
You've been busy. Thanks for the frequency of improvements
Keeps getting better! I was sold on the first version, but this is off the charts. Thanks!
Another nice improvement to your script. Thanks once again
It just keeps getting better. Thanks for the update!
Great feature adds. Thank you.
Wow, better and better baby steps. Know your not king of scripting but absulute creative.
Chould some like this be done for a STF stretch!!😊 😊
STF still has its purpose with its aggressive stretching. It is fast, and really lets you look for blemishes or any imperfection hiding down in the noise. If you look at the math behind STF though, it is clear they were trying to do something like what I am doing. They just never got around to analytically solving it and used some fudge factor equations for the shift and stretch.
Thanks for this great improvement and tutorial. You continue to make my astro-life much easier! Can’t wait to see your next innovation.
Big improvement Frank THX
Thanks. I think with all the suggestions and comments we are getting darn close to a great little script here!
This script is very very good Congratz. My suggestions: mimic the local scale by measuring the half of the histogram and scale the top by FFT on slope. Another suggestion is to migrate the preview for the preview tool wait couple of seconds just because of the preview is not good. Many thanks for you script!!!
Not 100% sure your suggestions are. You can always email me, it may be easier tp communicate as we can share images, graphics, and screenshots that way.
Glad you got the script and it is working off the bat for you too!
@@setiv2 sorry I was in a hurry. Please let us hit preview instead of an auto preview when we open the script, because sometimes we already knew the values we will use no need for preview.
Ah that i can change. If you know the values you are going to use you can also make drag and drop instamce icons that operate immediately too. There is a parameter openDialogbox that you can change to false in the saved icon parameters. Need to see if others would prefer the preview not populating at the start of the script opening too.
@@carvrodrigo Yep +1 about making the preview optional. The default values are target dependent. For example, now we are at galaxy season, so the initial preview with 0.25 median is not useful. But if you change it to 0.1, then it will be wrong next summer :)
1.4.1 was just pushed to the repository. It doesn't auto run the stretch on the preview now and just displays the active window in the preview. Letting you adjust the sliders first and then you will need to click Preview Refresh.
Been waiting for this update! Thanks for the wonderful tool!
Hope it helps!
Great addition! I’m curious about two things…
1. How does this script compare to EZ Soft Stretch, as in, what does it do differently?
2. Are you using your script over GHS?
Thanks again, my friend!
I dont use anything in the EZ suite, so I cant compare. I guess give both a try and see what you like.
I do use this over GHS for the initial stretch. In fact this image I didnt use GHS at all!

I cant add this to pixinsight. I have the repository lingk downloaded. Also the zip file. But feature scripts doesnt find the script in the downloaded map. Any ideas how to fix this?
You need to extract the zip file. Then direct feature scripts to that folder. If you have the repository link added, do you get a parsing or signature error? Also verify you have the latest pixinsight build 1605(it came out in march), you can get that from the pixinsight download page.
Excellent…👍🏻
I keep getting an error about the signature when attempting to add the repository link to PixInsight, is anyone else having that issue?
You need to update pixinsight to the latest build. (1605 came out in march) you can get it from the pixinsight download site. That will fix that issue.
Hope that helps
Frank
Thank you so much for this and your other scripts-they are really helpful! Question though: I keep getting an error when I try to add your URL to the Repositories window and have to load manually. Is there a fix for this?
There is. You havent upgraded pixinsight to the latest build yet (build 1605 came out in march). You can update that via the pixinsight downloads page and the repository will work just fine :)
@@setiv2 thanks-I was sure I was up to date but I wasn’t! Works great now.
Silly question ... I can see the two scripts in the repository, all updates have been loaded and PI restarted. Where do I launch the scripts? They do not appear under Utilities, not any other script grouping. I also can see the files for both star_stretch and statisticalstretch in the SRC/Scripts directory.
They are in Scripts -> SetiAstro. They are no longer under Scripts -> Utilities
@@setiv2 Thanks for the quick reply ... I am running 1.8.9-2, but I do not see "SetiAstro" as a group under scripts
What build do you have? Build 1605 (which came out in March) is the most recent and the one that is directing scripts to be signed now to make those updates. It is also needed for some core scripts too npw like Annotate.
@@setiv2 1604 ... I thought I was keeping up with everything ... I found the build on the PixInsight site
Cool 👍.
Interesting.
Maybe a silly question but PI complains about your repository, am I doing something wrong?
You need to upgrade pixinsight to build 1605 that came out in March. You can get it from the pixinsight download page. Otherwise you will have to get my script via zip file from my site.
Hope this helps!
@@setiv2 Aaah thanks, i'm running 1601. Will update now (the zip file works but its effort, the repo's are so much more elegant)
Was confusing as hell to set up the repo, but glad I did. So easy to maintain now :)
What do you mean you're not a coder!
Sorry, I should say I do not have a professional software or programming background. :)
