Hi Robin,
Live Stacking works well continuing after a meridian flip. However, the “Drift” plot becomes a bit useless, as the “position” seems to be offset by the size of the sensor. Your image “origin” appears to be in one corner. How about using the sensor CENTRE as the position reference/origin, so that it does not move with a flip?
Cheers, Chris.

Re: Drift after meridian flip in Live Stack
Hi Chris,
that makes sense I think because after the flip the image will be mirrored (or is it rotated 180, I can never remember) and then that needs an offset of roughly the sensor size to put it back over the original image. Working from the image center not the corner should resolve the issue as you say. I will make a note of this.
cheers,
Robin
