SetiAstroSuitePro_V1.20.8

Updates to RC-Astro tool for alignment to latest release, major under the hood updates to PSF Viewer and Image Peeker. Stacking Suite updated to include SXT as a star removal option for Comet Stacking. Update during image loading from fits files saved by Siril for vertical orientation.

SetiAstroSuitePro_V1.20.7

Updates to Exoplanet Detector for more precise magnitude calculations and ensemble measurements, Luminance Recombination to expose L methods, Stacking Suite for dark handling with session tags, WIMI and Minor Body Catalog for manual downloading and installing of the minor body catalog, additional hardening for python 3.13 and python 3.14 use for bugs users encountered.

SetiAstroSuitePro_V1.20.6

Bug fixes and updates to: Curves Tool, Install hardware acceleration for py313 and py314, View loupe when you press spacebar and click on an image, Whats In My Image, and the Preferences Page.

SetiAstroSuitePro_V1.20.5

Updates to improve stacking suite measurement phase during integration. Curves tool allows you to pop out the Curve to resize it and adjust the curve easier. Layers updated to pull the view names into each layer. Statistical stretch bug fix on headless operations.

Minor other bug fixes.

SetiAstroSuitePro_V1.20.4

Updates to Cosmic Clarity to use %Overlap now instead of raw pixel values. RCAstro tools to unify to his new V2.5. Crop Update to greatly increase the speed and usability of the multi image compiled crop option.

Update to About->About... Where if you are a supporter of Seti Astro you will be able to enter a donation code and show that you are a supporter. If you have donated in the past you will be receiving an email from me with your code.

SetiAstroSuitePro_V1.20.3

Big update to Stacking Suite: When you click on Register and Integrate OR Skip Registration and integrate, it will look to see if there are previously aligned files in the stacking directory and ask if you want to reuse them so you dont have to re-register your images and this also means if you click Skip Registration and Integrate, even if the file list is only the calibrated files it will ask, Found all these Registered images, use these instead? Also improved Scoring and Weighting and bug fixes.

Update to Surface Mosaic tool to parallize the process, gradient tile matching, and introduce much stronger local warping features under the hood.

SetiAstroSuitePro_V1.20.2

New feature in Blemish Blaster: Line Blaster. Set end points, thickness, even curve the line to match the line defect and blast that line away.

New weighting system in Stacking Suite. Find the weight option you want in Stacking Suite Settings: Balanced, PSF-Weighted, SNR-Weighted, or Star-Count-Weighted. This will give more weights to the score depending on the options chosen.

Update in Planetary Stacker for planetary de-rotation, Auto Disk button to match the rotation disc, similar in feel to what winjupos does.

Various other bug fixes.

SetiAstroSuitePro_V1.20.1

Surface Mosaic Tool: Added advanced robust fallbacks to align even the toughest of data. Included an Advanced Options button for power users that want to play with the mosaic variables.

Multi-scale Decomposition: added the preset grip and alt+DND headless running ability

SSSC: Added a Step0: Plate Solve button. Specifically for A. Potamus, if you want to join discord and thank him personally for the addition. Be sure to share this link with him too: https://youtu.be/QUkfghsadnc

POST1: Stacking suite star shape fix, syqon tools mask aware, and multi-scale preset grip added.

SetiAstroSuitePro_V1.20.0

New Tool: Surface Mosaic, found under Star Stuff. This allows you to build a mosaic image from panel shots of the lunar surface, solar surface, or if you have your own satellite in orbit of Mars, planetary surface mosaics. The machinery borrows a lot from the Planetary Stacker surface mode to find similar patch, do coarse matching then subpixel phase correlated matching. There is also the option to solve for rotated frames, perfect for Alt Az mounts where there may be rotation between each panel.

SetiAstroSuitePro_V1.19.18

Major overhaul of all rejection algorithms in Stacking Suite to be much more robust to outlier data (ie satellite trails and hot pixels), refactored how remove satellite trail is done during light calibration, remove satellite trail will clip to black the satellite trails in the calibrated images themselves removing the need for the _sat_mask.py files. Complete redo of how CFA drizzle is handled to have true rejection layer utilized and a refactor of how cfa per channel statistics and noise characteristics are derived.

New debayer method added: VNG. This will be selectable not only from the Debayer utility but directly in Stacking Suite Image Integration tab for your choice of debayer method: VNG, EDGE, Bilinear, Straight CFA.
