Thank you for sharing your photos - this is exactly what this project is all about! :-)
Well, my script for stacking in Siril finally worked, but whether it's better than DSS remains to be seen. Anyway, this is just a re-shoot of the Double Cluster in Perseus. By the way, you can see a nebula near X Persei (the one on the right).
Thanks, and overall, after using the EK 3 with decent guiding, I realized that the EK 2 was in some ways even worse than a tripod.
Sure, you can take longer subs, but often 60-70% of the imaging time could go to waste simply because of the EK 2.
So I can advise you that if you're going to switch to a mount, I'd recommend going straight for a better one — I don't know, at least the Star Adventurer, or also go straight for the EK 3 on an OnStep.
That will save you a lot of time and nerves.
Cyril stacks perfectly and, most importantly, for free) DSS is good but slow. Overall, Cyril is an excellent tool, it doesn't matter whether it's shot from a tripod or a mount. I think I'll shoot the Double Cluster again, but with a longer exposure — there's even background hydrogen there.
