shared PowerShell drivers and PixInsight JavaScript process scripts.\n- `projects/` - one folder per imaging target/session.\n- `docs/` - repository-level notes that are not tied to a single target.\n\nThe current processed targets are `projects/m31-andromeda-2013`, `projects/rosette-2014-03-02`, and `projects/horsehead-flame-2013-2016`.\n\n## Documentation\n\nStart here for the repository structure:\n\n- [Project layout](docs/project-layout.md) - how the repo is organized for more targets and local-only work products.\n- [Processing summaries](docs/processing-summaries.md) - concise process summary for M31, Rosette, and Horsehead.\n- [Horsehead / Flame processing plan](docs/horsehead-processing-plan.md) - source inventory, script changes, and processing strategy for combining modded, unmodded, and wide-field data.\n- [Agent bootstrap guide](AGENTS.md) - conventions for AI agents creating or extending projects.\n\nM31 / Andromeda 2013 processing notes:\n\n- [Current status](projects/m31-andromeda-2013/docs/status.md) - what has been run, current outputs, and how to resume.\n- [Processing pipeline](projects/m31-andromeda-2013/docs/pipeline.md) - the intended PixInsight workflow and settings.\n- [Original 2013 processing evidence](projects/m31-andromeda-2013/docs/original-2013-processing.md) - what was found in the old DSS/Photoshop folders.\n- [2013 Photoshop result](projects/m31-andromeda-2013/docs/images/original-2013-photoshop.jpg) and [2026 PixInsight v3 result](projects/m31-andromeda-2013/docs/images/pixinsight-v3-ed80.jpg) - compressed comparison images.\n\nResearch notes created during the experiment:\n\n- [General PixInsight pipeline research](projects/m31-andromeda-2013/docs/research/01-general-pipeline.md)\n- [M31-specific processing research](projects/m31-andromeda-2013/docs/research/02-m31-specific.md)\n- [DSLR no-flats workflow research](projects/m31-andromeda-2013/docs/research/03-dslr-no-flats.md)\n- [Plate-solving notes from the failed 50mm assumption](projects/m31-andromeda-2013/docs/research/04-platesolve-wide-field.md)\n\nRosette Nebula 2014 processing notes:\n\n- [V3B presentation candidate](projects/rosette-2014-03-02/docs/final-v3b.md) - current preferred result, subs summary, and human-in-the-loop notes.\n- [Current status](projects/rosette-2014-03-02/docs/status.md) - source inventory, completed runs, current outputs, and next processing steps.\n- [Processing journey](projects/rosette-2014-03-02/docs/processing-journey.md) - chronological record of what was tried, including the v2g presentation candidate and starless-tool decision.\n- [Processing pipeline](projects/rosette-2014-03-02/docs/pipeline.md) - Rosette-specific PixInsight plan, current color/background findings, and resume plan.\n- [Original 2014 processing evidence](projects/rosette-2014-03-02/docs/original-2014-processing.md) - what was found in the old DSS/Photoshop folders.\n- [2014 finished-work result](projects/rosette-2014-03-02/docs/images/original-2014-photoshop.jpg) and [2026 StarXTerminator v3b result](projects/rosette-2014-03-02/docs/images/rosette-starxterminator-v3b.jpg) - compressed comparison images.\n\nHorsehead / Flame 2013-2016 processing notes:\n\n- [Final v1 result](projects/horsehead-flame-2013-2016/docs/final-v1.md) - accepted mixed-camera result, selected data mix, exclusions, and caveats.\n- [Current status](projects/horsehead-flame-2013-2016/docs/status.md) - source inventory, calibration findings, and candidate WBPP runs.\n- [Processing journey](projects/horsehead-flame-2013-2016/docs/processing-journey.md) - chronological record of decisions and experiments.\n- [Processing pipeline](projects/horsehead-flame-2013-2016/docs/pipeline.md) - staged plan for modded, unmodded, and wide-field data.\n- [2013 finished-work result](projects/horsehead-flame-2013-2016/docs/images/original-2013-finished-work.jpg) and [2026 PixInsight v1 result](projects/horsehead-flame-2013-2016/docs/images/horsehead-04c-v1-polish.jpg) -
