Drizzle when undersampling?

Hey All,

I recently came across the concept of over/under sampling. Checked out my rig on astronomy.tools and see I am under sampling quite a bit.

In this case, I have seen that drizzling could help this, to some extent.
Tested it out and it seemed to be somewhat better at 2x drizzle.

When drizzling 2x, do you typically use the stars from that also? The reason I ask is a found a video deep diving into it mentioned maybe the stars are better in a 1x drizzle. Then just remove stars and use nebula from 2x?

Thanks!

Well, when drizzeling I tend to keep my equipment under covers.

Can’t see the stars in the rain anyway.

Why would you?

That doesn’t make any sense to me but my best advice is to just try it both ways and compare.

To your basic question, yes, when you’re under-sampled, you can apply drizzle.
