My old way of stacking star photos versus using Siril's batch processing

I remember spending three hours manually stacking fifty shots of Orion last winter. My fingers were numb from clicking through each calibration frame. Siril's batch process cut that down to twenty minutes with a coffee break. The old way felt like a badge of honor, but my free time is too short for that now.

Been there, done that, never again.

Wait, you were doing that by hand for three whole hours? My brain just froze trying to picture that. Clicking every single calibration frame sounds like a special kind of torture. How did you even stay awake? I get the badge of honor thing, but man, that's just too much pain for no real gain. You must have the patience of a saint, or maybe you just lost your mind for a bit there.
