Description

Another test of unguided tracking, but this time the object was really high in the sky and the Alt-Azimut mount is definitely not that good when it needs to rotate quickly close to the meridian pass. So a few manual adjustment were needed on the X axis (aligned to the azimut), but overall not too bad. X and Y position, as reported by Siril registration plots below.
Standard processing (color calibration + background extraction + histogram stretch in Siril, final touch in GIMP). Field rotation resulted in fewer frames collected on the right half of the picture. Oh well.
