Hi
I am trying to install the Starnet module without succes. I am working with a PC winsows 10 and I have downloaded Starnet_PI_windows. I have unsipped it to the PixInsight bin directory. When I try to install the module I get the message that 0 additional Pinsight modules were found. I must be missing something.
Help would be welcomed. Thanks, Rémi

make sure the weights files are in the right location. i think what happens is that PI tries to start the module as a sanity check when installing a module, and if the weights files are missing the module fails to start and so PI does not show the module as a valid module to install.

Hi Rob,
Excuse my ingnorence but what is a weight file?

starnet uses a neural network to do star removal. neural networks need weights, which is a description of how strongly the different simulated neurons are connected together and when they should fire. there are 2 weight files in the zipfile, one for mono images and one for RGB images, that the starnet module needs to load before it can do anything to an image. without the weights the neural network can not do anything.

Thanks Rob,
I have checked and the two files are in the directory. It has to be something else!

Sorry to have bother you. My mistake

Hello
Well, I downloaded the right file, put it in the right place. I made sure it was compatible with the latest version but the process cannot be found.
