I saw this in some thread on CN the other day, pretty cool. He just keeps adding stuff. Now, if only I could ever learn how to use it -- other than running a pre-fab stacking script. Once you learn it (no different than you have to with DSS or ASTAP), WBPP is just so easy to set up complex stacking with its table layout, tabs, and options controls.
He did mention that release of 1.4 is nowhere close to being ready.
I read the included link, and even the link within the link, and stuff does get over my head pretty quickly. Especially his conflation of true drizzle and CFA (or Bayer) drizzle. Though PI may be similar?
My impression has always been that "true" drizzle is essentially an upscaling, but the data rains down onto a finer grid. If you are undersampled, this can produce enhanced resolution when everything is stacked. If you aren't, then there is no recovery of resolution, though I don't know if still provides an "appearance" of being smoother or more rounded off when it comes to things like stars.
True drizzle could certainly be run on OSC data. I though, maybe wrongly, that it was done post-debayering.
Bayer drizzle instead replaces debayering, using the shifts, drift, and dither to fill in the entire grid with actual captured data, in three channels across the entire image dimension. The point being to avoid artifacts inherent in various debayering algorithms, as well as just knowing that everything is a real photon. Absent any error handling that may be needed, of course.
DSS says the concepts are related, but warns that you should not do both. But maybe they are the outlier?
Perhaps it all comes down to implementation, particularly as to star registration because sub-pixel transforms are required (splining, warping?) that have to go beyond simple dX dY and rotation angle. Maybe that's why they would end up conflated or the same?

Instead of buying PI and supporting their monopoly (just kidding?) you could consider to make a donation to the Siril team or to buy a T-Shirt from their shop

Re: Bayer drizzle
Thanks for sharing your progress, dx_ron. It sounds like you're making some headway despite the challenges. Have you considered experimenting with different stacking techniques or adjusting your dithering settings to see if it improves the Bayer drizzle results?
It's great to hear that you're committed to continuing the project despite the setbacks. Good luck with capturing the deer lick group and stephan's quintet, and I hope the clear skies on friday and saturday work out in your favor.
