NGC 7822 and Nebula Captured over 3 nights.
Svbony 503 80ED 560mm with Orion Flattener for Small Reflectors +5mm spacer
160x3min @ iso 3200 Canon M6ii-FullSpectrum Modified, Lenhance Filter, NO Calibration Frames, Dithered Every 5th.
Svbony 305pro guidecam and Svbony 106, 60mm guidescope.
Platesolved, PHD2 multistar, APT, Stellarium on iOptron CEM25p Mount.
Run remotely on a $120 mini PC running windows10.
Stacked in DSS and Lightly Processed in Siril, and PS.
Getting a lot more images that do not meet the Siril algo for stacking, so back to DSS it goes for now.

Nice.

 

What's the problem with Siril?

 

What are you using for a tripod?

I'm really not sure..  I don't blame the software, I blame myself.  I just run the scripts and not doing a whole lot of step by step file management and processing in Siril.  All I know is that since the last update, almost 20 to 30 percent of my images get rejected because of the star alignment portion before the stacking.  I'm sure it is my doing with mixing Different Times, and or, ISO values as the night progresses.
If I know the target is going to get darker and darker, I like to ramp up my exposure either by time, or ISO sensativity so I am getting the most data I can, DSS handles it fine, but Siril just says NOPE. 
I'm sure if I went the manual process and follwed some rules it be okay, but if it is supposed to be a APP, or Pix replacement for the poor, well, it should just take what I throw at it, and figure out what I'm trying to achieve.  I'd also like to see it stack from different camera's resolutions, etc etc like APP, but I that is tall order.

The tripod is the tripod that came with the CEM25P, the only difference is the Pillar my kid bought for my birthday.  The set up is working really well for me. 

Clear Skies !!
