AI Analysis

●●SolidNiche GemSlick

Rust CLI grades FITS frames faster than PixInsight without the heavy GUI overhead.

Strengths
  • GPU-accelerated wgpu shaders speed up metric calculation on large datasets significantly.
  • Comprehensive scoring includes ellipticity, FWHM, and sharpness metrics without manual inspection needed.
  • Dry-run and move flags offer safe workflow integration for fully automated pipelines.
Weaknesses
  • Requires cfitsio C library dependency which complicates Windows installation process slightly.
  • Lacks GUI preview for rejected frames, forcing trust in the automated scoring.
