A small release: the Siril script now ships with AstroSharp, and shows how far processing has got. Processing results are the same as in 0.5.0.

What's new

  • Siril script: AstroSharp.py, which runs AstroSharp on the image open in Siril, is now part of AstroSharp and attached to each release.
    • A progress bar in its window and in Siril's own progress bar shows how far processing has got.
    • The Preview button is now called Process.
    • It finds AstroSharp where the Windows and Linux installs put it, as well as on macOS, or on the PATH.
  • Command line: --progress prints progress <fraction> lines (0 to 1) while processing, for scripts such as the Siril one.

Downloads

File For
AstroSharp-0.5.1-macos-arm64.zip macOS 11 or later on Apple Silicon
AstroSharp-0.5.1-setup.exe Windows 10 and 11, x64 or ARM64 (it installs the native build)
AstroSharp.py The Siril script (see below)
SHA256SUMS Checksums for all three

Neither the app nor the installer is signed with a paid certificate, so expect a warning the first time:

  • macOS: unzip and move AstroSharp.app to Applications. The first time you open it, macOS says it can't check the app for malware. Go to System Settings > Privacy & Security and click Open Anyway; this is only needed once. The command-line tool is at AstroSharp.app/Contents/MacOS/astrosharp-cli.
  • Windows: if SmartScreen shows "Windows protected your PC", click More info, then Run anyway.
    • The installer installs for your user only, with no administrator rights needed, and adds a Start menu shortcut. It upgrades an earlier version in place.
    • It offers a desktop shortcut and adding astrosharp-cli to your PATH.
  • Linux: build and install from source with make install-linux (see the README).

Siril script

AstroSharp.py needs Siril 1.4 or later and AstroSharp installed as above. It has every model and setting, a preview with a before/after divider, and Send to Siril, which applies the result with an undo point. It also runs from Siril scripts (.ssf).

To install it, put AstroSharp.py in a folder on Siril's script path (listed under Preferences → Scripts), then refresh Siril's script list. See siril/README.md for details.
