I like to flip through my calibrated images to choose which ones to stack.  I had been using Nebulosity for this, but it won't work with the format now used by PI.  Is there an easy way to preview images in PI?

Have you tried the Blink process?

You can also use the subframe selector script to choose frames based on measured quantities like noise levels, FWHM of stars, etc. This doesn't let you view the frames per se but you can reduce the number you need to manually inspect and then use a tool like blink that Charles has suggested on the result.

Thanks guys.  That's exactly what I needed.  It makes glaringly apparent all the things I did wrong during capture!
