goodbye walking noise, hello banding?

added a guidescope and dithered every 5th frame. exposures were kept to 30" to match exposures from prior nights which were tracked, but not guided/dithered. stacked in sirilic and edited in siril, now I have horizontal wide bands. suggestions appreciated

Am I crazy trying this?

Entire cygnus loop with my 8" newtonian and DSLR? With 20% overlap I'm looking at about 12 panels according to telescopius. I know I can get the panels shot, more like, is my computer going to take a shit doing this? I tend to shoot only 30" exposures to minimize issues from light pollution.

Still using the litter box, but does this. Eating, but not much, doesn't clean her butthole. I know she's obese, but she's down from the 28 lbds we got her at to 14. Female, spayed
