The AIP version of the script in the current PI release is 580 odd lines of code! It does let you vary the amount of mix, and has some denoising control as well.
cheers,

You must be logged in to obtain the file. Place it in your PixInsight/src/scripts/ directory.

These scripts aren't doing anything magical. When you look under the bonnet, they are still doing pixel math routines to add the Ha data to the Red filtered data. The script simply streamlines the process. The downside to the scripts is you don't have infinite control on the blend i.e. if you only want to blend 80% Ha into the red channel and 10% into the blue channel, you still need to do this manually. Also if you need to change the RGB weights to bring back colour balance this needs to be tweaked manually. There are no free lunches but I wish there were.
