Starting with version v2.5 FireCapture comes with a built-in plugin interface giving access to image data and the possibility for extending functionality. You're invited to create and share your own plugins with the community. Let me know and I'll add them to the list of available plugins.

PluginAuthorDescription32-bit64-bitDynamicPopfilterAnthony WesleyThe DynamicPopfilter plugin divides the image into a grid of tiles measuring 9x9 pixels in size, and the brightest pixel in each tile is then replaced by the average of its 8 neighbors. The starting point (ie top left corner) for the grid is varied randomly from one frame to the next to be sure that this process doesn't introduce any detectable pattern. It's recommended that this plugin is used for mono cameras, or colour cameras operating in RAW mode. It doesn't support RGB colour images.EdgeDetectionStephen WongA simple edge detection plugin using Sobel operator. The plugin will visualize and display the edges of the objects, which helps on achieving precise focus on targets such as moon craters and planets.FlareDetectJoachim StehleFlareDetect provides the possibility of automated image recording sessions based on the current X-ray flux. It uses flux data of the GOES satellite provided by the Space Weather Prediction Center.MoonPanoramaMakerRolf HempelPython application for the automatic exposure of moon panoramas.

MoonPanoramaMaker covers the current Moon phase with an optimal grid of single views and automatically steers the telescope mount and camera during their exposure.PlanetaryMaskTorsten EdelmannActs like a coronograph and allows applying different kind of masks to planetary targets effectively zeroing out all pixel values behind the mask. Might be useful for e.g.
Uranus ring hunting. Does not work on debayered color data.Solar Seeing MonitorJoachim StehleDIY Solar Scintillation Seeing Monitor which measures solar seeing for capture control.Solar MonitorPaul De BackerSolar Monitor - A plugin that monitors the output from a Solar Scintillation Seeing Device and can trigger capture depending on seeing results. It was back in 2008 when I got hold of a SONY newsletter announcing a new CCD sensor (ICX618) which promised fantastic sensitivity. Still working with an old webcam those days I instantly had the idea of replacing the webcam sensor with the new SONY sensor. It took weeks and dozens of emails to get the confidential spec of the new sensor. When I saw the sensitivity values it was clear: I had to have this sensor! The Basler Scout scA640 was the first machine vision camera on the market using this sensor and when I bought it the nightmare began: the included software was useless for planetary imaging and running the camera with the VRecord webcam tool was a complete PITA.
Bugged by the inability to store even the basic camera settings I decided developing my own capture software.What started as a solely private project soon turned into higher gear when fellow astronomers saw the software and insisted on getting it. I decided to make it public, included new camera interfaces and after years of continuous development FireCapture has evolved to one of the leading planetary capture tools. Developing the thing is only one part of the story: with a supportive community of users behind me I always had the feeling of someone 'looking over my shoulder' during the countless hours of programming. I can't mention all but just want to say:Thank you guys!
