Siril 1.2.0-beta1 was just released. Let's check it out! https://siril.org

== Notes / Corrections ==
-On Windows only, there is currently a bug with Starnet - see the easy workaround near the top of the release notes: https://siril.org/download/2023-02-24-siril-1.2.0-beta1/
-With the GHS tool, try picking a symmetry point more towards the right side of the histogram bump after initial stretch as lots of interesting stuff is usually over there to bring out. See the GHS tutorial below for more details.
-I misspoke in the small section about PCC at the end. You can still platesolve inside PCC, it's just that now you can also platesolve separately with the new process (or even in a different program), and PCC will pick that up from the metadata in the FITS header
