PlanetFlow: An Open-Source Pipeline for Automated Planetary Image Post-Processing

PlanetFlow is a Python-based open-source pipeline designed to automate the post-processing of planetary images. It streamlines workflows for astrophotographers by providing a cross-platform GUI to handle tasks such as denoising, sharpening, and color adjustments efficiently.

Requirements:

• OS: Windows or Linux (Mac does not tested.)

• Python >= 3.12

• Required Python packages: PySide6, numpy, opencv-python

Usage: Users can launch the application by running the main Python script (e.g., python -m gui). Through the GUI, users can load their stacked planetary images, adjust processing parameters, and apply batch processing automatically. Detailed instructions and source code are available in the attached files.
