A wonderful addition Frank, you’re making this hobby more exciting (and easy).

Fantastic. Everyone of your scripts has become part of my workflow. Seriously good work. Many thanks again.

Thanks Frank and Gerrit. Super work, finding a suitable background area has always be a source of anxiety and you've taken the guesswork out of it.

Awesome, Frank! Thank you!

the amount of work you are putting in is astounding, many thanks!!!!

Amazing work guys. Thanks for sharing this script.

Nickel 👌 encore…!!…merci à toi.

You are doing very impressive work that is appreciated. You guys rock!!

What a great job you guys. Well done.

Yeah Cool script again!

Nice work.

I've never seen background neutralization do anything until I tried the script. It always just made the image dark then STF it's exactly as before. Maybe I wasn't choosing the best background window before.

When running processes like BackgroundNeutralization, ColorCalibration, or SPCC it is important to use Linked STF. If you use UnLinked STF it will llook like nothing has changed as STF is stretching the channels seperately.

Your scripts are awesome, used them on my photo with great results. However I have tried installing manually or by adding repository on my installation and they don't show up in the menu, I have to manually run the scripts from the hard drive. Any idea what I am doing wrong?

I needed to add them in the library from the menu, didn't know about that

Got a really challenging target that I can't get this to work on (The Dark Doodad). It keeps selecting the nebula as the background. :(

The nebula may actually be the darkest region in the image and if there isnt a specific color caste to it it may be the best area. You may also want to adjust the values off the default. Either try an image size of 100 vs the default of 50 as this will include more background sampling, or try the slow search. I am also working on the next version in tough cases it will allow the user to define a search area to look in, that way you can specifically avoid areas where either the gradient is corrected well or other dark patches you want to avoid. I do have a drive link if you want to upload your master if you want me to take a look at it drive.google.com/drive/folders/1U9tnYBD8Vlj1DpE7GzDuAV5LWldeS91N?usp=drive_link

If you havent upgraded to PixInsight build 1605 (which came out in March) I highly recommend you do that as all scripts are going to require signatures going forward. You do this from the PixInsight download site. This will fix the error if you are trying to use the repository. If you still run into a parsing error or signature error you can download the zip file directly from my website and then just extract the .js file (delete the .xsgn file). You can then go to Scripts -> Feature Scripts -> Add Script and select the folder you extracted the .js file too. Let me know if this helps Frank

I can't load the script into Pixinsight. Either using the repository or manually. It doesn't show up and if I try to run it directly I get an error.
