I'm in search of useful pixel math equations especially those having to do with stretching and image combinations. This info seems rather hard to find so I'm wondering if the community has a few favorites it's willing to share?

I like using pixel math to generate a DBE background model from a starless image and then undoing the star removal and subtracting/dividing that background model from the star-containing image. 

Assuming you have the Normalize option enabled in your DBE model generation settings, the PixelMath is:

For subtraction: $T + med(background) - background
For division: $T * med(background) / background

I am also interested in some Pixel Math equations for combining narrowband and broadband images for galaxies. It seems there is not much information on the Internet about it.

That's a great tool but I don't use PI. I was hoping for something more general in nature.

Advanced Narrowband Combination

This guide provided by @Charles Hagen is what I use for my narrowband addition.    You can manipulate the color of your narrowband by changing the 'f' value, which allows you to use it for Oiii and Sii as well.   I believe his gallery, as well as mine demonstrates how well it works.

Thank you for sharing this! I will give it a try on some of my collected data.
