Using the Weighted Batch Pre Processing (WBPP) v2.5 script from PixInsight

Out of the numerous ways of calibrating and stacking your data within PixInsight, the WBPP script has to be the most user friendly way of doing it. This video shows the process I have recently started using as part of my astrophotography journey. It fills in the gap between acquiring the data during a night's imaging, and the processing of the final image.
Some things to remember with this process...
1. Make sure you have enough usable disk space! Though the final image may be a few hundred MB, the amount of disk space consumed as part of the process can run into 100's of GB.
2. If you forget to set up the plate solving data, or your image metadata doesn't already contain that information, don't worry. The script will pause and allow you to add that data along the way.
3. Once the script has run, you don't really need any of the data contained within the output folder apart from that contained within the Master folder. The rest of it can be deleted so you can claim back the disk space. The script produces drizzled and none drizzled, cropped and uncropped final master files for you to take onto your processing workflow.
