Stacking 3 months of moon shots finally showed me the libration wobble

I kept comparing my July and October photos of the same crater and thought my mount was drifting, but lining them up in a GIF made the whole wobble obvious, has anyone else noticed it only shows up after you've got enough frames?

Man, that "thought my mount was drifting" bit hit way too close to home. Same thing happened to me last year, I spent a whole week tweaking my setup before realizing it was just the moon being dramatic. It's wild how our brains auto-blame the gear first, and honestly, it takes a ton of frames for that wobble to finally click.
