RGB & SHO image processing workflows, 2024 edition
In the past few years the tools used to process astro-images have made a
generational leap. Tools built into PixInsight, like WBPP (Weighted Batch
Preprocessor), have simplified calibration and integration, while other free
tools, like Generalized Hyperbolic Stretch (GHS), and SetiAstro’s
helpers are making processing in PI
easier (once you learn them). Other, paid tools, like RC-Astro’s *XTerminator tools have amplified the leap. In this post
I’ll walk through a high-level overview of how I process images. It’s
repeatable, pretty streamlined, and I think that you can get pretty good results
without a lot of theory or math.

Image processing: PixInsight scripts from theAstroShed
I use PixInsight to process my images and I’ve gotten to a point where I feel

good). I’ve created a few tools along the way that make things easier for me,
which I figured I’d share with the community.
