COMMAND-LINE TOOLS / DATA ANALYSIS
The problem behind the project
A capture session can produce many frames that need a consistent quality check. These utilities measure focus and star-shape characteristics, turning batches of FITS files into readable tables and CSV results without requiring PixInsight.
What it includes
- Reference-based focus checks using FWHM, HFR, star count, background, and SNR.
- Star-shape analysis with eccentricity and elongation indicators.
- Configurable KEEP, MARGINAL, and REJECT verdicts.
- YAML session configuration, batch analysis, and CSV export.
- Watch mode and a shared launcher for the separate analysis workflows.

Project context
A command-line toolkit, not a graphical application. Measurements and verdicts are diagnostic aids; they do not prove a specific mechanical fault. Workflow execution is sequential.
