VeraLux HyperMetric Stretch
VeraLux HyperMetric Stretch is a new stretching method created by Riccardo Paterniti. His original implementation is done in Python for Siril. This new stretching looks very interesting so I have added it to the AutoIntegrate script.
There is already a porting of the original Python version to PixInsight done by killerciao. His version including a repository link can be found at GitHub.
For the AutoIntegrate implementation I did not use the version done by killerciao. I used the original Python version that found from GitLab and converted it to the PixInsight Javascript using Claude AI tool.
You can use VeraLux HyperMetric Stretch in the AutoIntegrate by selecting VeraLuxHMS as a stretching method in Settings / Postprocessing section. Settings for the VeraLuxHMS are in the Postprocessing / Stretching section.
Just to try out VeraLux HyperMetric Stretch I also added a standalone script version which does only the stretching.
Because AutoIntegrate now has two scripts, AutoIntegrate and VeraLux HyperMetric Stretch, they are installed under their own AutoIntegrate section. So AutoIntegrate has been moved from Script / Batch Processing / AutoIntegrate to Script / AutoIntegrate / AutoIntegrate.
There are now two scripts available:
- Script / AutoIntegrate / AutoIntegrate
- Script / AutoIntegrate / VeraLux HyperMetric Stretch
Note that all the credits and copyright of this version of VeraLux HyperMetric Stretch belongs to the original author Riccardo Paterniti.
