I am not sure but it seems to work well with my 80 mm.
Anyways before this thread started I stacked all my Lagoon data RBGLand Ha in one lot and selected the 3 times drizzle and selcted just the region around the Triffid such that that area was only 5% of the total frame area...took 2 and a half hours to stack..this region had the worst stars ..little dashes.
And ran the final thru startools and photo shop and that result seemed much better than the Triffid that is in my image "Lagoon and Triffy".
I may try and build an image using that total stack as a main luminance and stack seperate colour stacks..but thinking about that now I would have to start over because I have not saved the frame size in DSS.
Maybe when I go back to Sydney if I get some time.
But a quick comparison definitely had the 3x much better than the 2x stack.
For the Lagoon Triffy captures I did not actively dither but given that polar alignment was crook I had a sortta built in dither.
It's so hard to know if drizzle is doing anything for me without doing a series of comparisons but my impression is it may be better and I think perhaps it works at least with the 80 mm.
I am away from the lappy so I can't post the photos and perhaps I would need to do a proper image using seperate channels to put the 3x on the same footing as the "Triffy" in my post image.
I suppose also I am doing the wrong thing as after I have done a drizzled image I bin it in Startools via the 71% option...isn't it great when you have absolutely no idea what you are doing....
