Siril has quite the learning 'cliff' to get over. I know enough to be dangerous and eventually drag out an image I can work with.
The asinh transformations require some care, and the histogram transformation even more so.
However, this hasn't sorted out why I'm getting such serious vignetting... I'd love to get to the bottom of that. It wouldn't be caused by the flattener, would it? Now I need to go back and check my DSLR images and see if they have any vignetting present.
BTW - I did use Ekos' focus module. It took some getting used to, and I still have to spend time to get the routine sorted out. But it's cool to watch the image sharpen up as the software does it's thing. And frustrating to watch it get confused and wander off into the weeds.
