Excellent tutorial. One additional thing that I do before running the scripts is quickly looking at the individual fits files with some type of viewer program. I can then reject any frames that were photobombed by airplanes or satelites, or blurred by wind or shaking, or clouds,etc. I also found that because the Dwarf uses 2 x 2 binning,the effective focal length for the plate solving function is 100 / 2 or 50 mm. If script for processing with drizzle is used,then 100 mm is the correct value.

Great tip, but you wouldn't need to remove the ones with planes or satellite trails. They'll be removed automatically.

I have to commend you on your informative videos. I particularly liked your tip about using a Celestron Omni barlow to shield against stray light and and turning on CPU performance when imaging in cold weather. It is this channel as well as Cuiv the lazy geek that persuaded me to start using Siril, and the both of you have been extremely helpful in getting to grips with the software.

Yesterday I used your beginners guide where you used a different nebula (red one, forgot the name) trying to get the best result out of 90 pictures of 1 minute exposure of M42. Your easy tutorial works perfectly, I had just one problem as my 90 frames were quite overexposed, and that is bringing the purple color back in. In my single frames there is a lot of this purple, but after stacking I could not retrieve it. Any thoughts on what might be the cause?

Assuming you have set your focal length and pixel size set correctly. Imagine the image split into 4 quadrants, and then draw a selection the size of 1 of those quadrants roughly in the top-left corner. Try the color calibration again. If it fails, move then selection to the top-right and try, then bottom-left, then bottom-right. Let me know.
