PhotometricContinuumSubtraction
Automated photometric routine for continuum subtraction
Introduction
PhotometricContinuumSubtraction, or PCS for short, is a fully automated routine for continuum subtraction. You provide linear narrowband and broadband data, and using a photometric routine, it will automatically calculate and apply the mathematically optimal weights. This provides a robust and fast method of estimating and subtracting continuum signal from your narrowband data.
Installation
The PhotometricContinuumSubtraction script is bundled with several other scripts in the NightPhotons PixInsight repository. To install, navigate to Resources > Updates > Manage Repositories, then click the Add button and paste the repository link found below. Then, Resources > Updates > Check for Updates and restart PixInsight. The scripts should now appear under Scripts > NightPhotons.

Troubleshooting
If the scripts do not appear under Scripts > NightPhotons, you may need to feature the scripts. Navigate to Scripts > Feature Scripts, then press Add and select your scripts folder, usually found at C:\Program Files\PixInsight\src\scripts. The scripts should now appear in your list.
