New tools survey

[Jack Harvey]

Now that we are all excited about 1.61 I thought it might be of interest to survey the members as to what new tools might be preferred for upcoming versions.  I think a survey would be a good idea.  So create the survey first lets make a list of new desired tools.  My votes are:

FWHM tool (to determine star fwhm, and perhaps give that data on animation script)
Bloom Removal tool

Once we have a list then we can do the survey???

I think this is a great idea. It would help Juan set priorities. Sure, we need take a formal or informal poll.

My top suggestions
1 Batch process Tools  .. cal, master cals,  alignment, integration process.
2 Narrow band, RGB & narrow combination tools.. should be able combine many channels etc
3 Star stats tool including FWHM, aspect map,  others PSF extraction ?

Agree, not only help Juan but some of the other guys that write these ingenious scripts.

Hi

My little list

1) batch tools inc debayer ( for our OSC boys )
2) narrowband blending tool for ha especially ( with live view )
3) Star stats

Could be a underlying trend here 

Also

4) simple sharpening
5) automatic rescale on opening new files
6) auto zoom on autostretch bars in STF
7) weights for rgb in debayer
8) should I say layers , no I wont ask 

Loads of more stuff

1) Batch Tool for calibration+stack (ala DSS)
2) Decent Documentation

[Emanuele]

Big suggestion:
1- layers!!
There has to be the possibility of going back to an image and being able to change parameters to different processes used.

I will add documentation and layers to my wish list too as #s 4 and 5

Note. Layers does not have that many fans around here.
See this thread from the last few days.

- documentation infrastructure
- project capability (save the entire PI state to disk so that it can be recovered later including previews, redo-undo history etc)

[Carlos Milovic]

Please note that layers and processing layers are two different things. IMO, the latter are not worth to implement, but layer capacity is really a must.

[Niall Saunders]

My quick thoughts:

Documentation
Save whole workspace(s) in one file
DSS-type calibration/integration front end (with the inclusion of the Animation/Blinking script)

Cheers,

Another vote for Documentation

Also please finish video 3 of Mosaic Construction with StarAlignment

I'd have to go with:

Documentation

What everybody else wants

[Jordi Gallego]

Great idea Jack,

Personally I would apreciate:

-FWHM tool
