Score: 7.3/10 (Innovation: 7, Technical: 8, Documentation: 9, Utility: 5)

Ophi is a Rust tool for automatically analyzing and sorting astrophotography FITS frames based on comprehensive image-quality metrics like PSF shape, noise, gradients, and cosmic rays. It's interesting because it implements a sophisticated, multi-stage analysis pipeline with optional GPU acceleration, addressing a specific but painful manual task for astrophotographers with technical rigor.

Target audience: astrophotographers, amateur astronomers, data scientists in astronomy
