yessir. A very nice effort. Looks like the red stars might be smaller, too.

I’ve never figured out how people do that. Rotation alone would seem
like it would just eat the edges of the image.

But I think that now that I’m getting cleaner data (flats is a big deal
for me), I might be able to try this sort of thing.

sigh.

I have so many junky raw frames lying around. I mean, you look at the
end result photos and “wow” but then compare the raws and realize
“there’s no way that I’m going to try to stack all this”, because with
my stuff, anything older than a certain age has raws that are bright

red, then the more recent stuff is better, but there’s planes and
tracking errors and… it’s too much. (:

If you can do it, then I can do it with your help. So I’m standing pat

until you’ve looked at my mount.
