I'll have a better look later, but I think your calibration is out.
Which camera are you using?
Noisy? Yeh, I tried stacking 5 subs in DSS but it could detect enough stars despite lowering the threshold and it detecting 65 stars.

Can post the raw frames (cropped larger) though it sounds like I should reshoot this first.

Was a quick setup. Using my canon 50d, 100mm macro and a dodgy home made card to hold the star analyser I my cokin filter holder. Yet to use my telescope.
