Description

No issues with equipment overnight. The meridian flip worked as intended, and I got a good nights sleep.
360 subs taken, only 6 were visibly bad. I've stacked the best 90% of both FWHM and star roundness, as detected by Siril.

Processing:
In Siril:  
Registered with Drizzle x2  
Polynomial Background Extraction with 1 degree order for each sub-frame before stacking.  
Photometric Color Calibration  
RFB Background Extraction after stacking  
Crop  
Manual Stretch  
Export to TIF (for star removal)  
Undo Stretch, then asinh stretch for star color  
Export as TIF  
Created Starless version with Starnet++v2.

In Gimp:  
Unsharp Mask R:4 A:0.7 T:0  
Saturation:1.1  
Layer asinh stretch over starless version in addition mode  
Export final as PNG
