The default settings usually work pretty well. One that you do need to change from the default if you are using an OSC camera though is on tab "0" you need to tick the "Force bayer CFA" box or you will not get debayered data.

The default "auto" integrate setting is usually pretty good but very strong star trails can leak through a little, the "Average" (If you have at least 20 subs, otherwise median is better) integration and local normalisation rejection filter get rid of trails better.

The other tips I would make if you are assembling a colour image in APP or integrating OSC data is use the highest stretch value when selecting areas in tab 9 for the background calibration routine. It tries to make the areas you have selected greay, so if there is nebulosity in the areas you select it will try to make that greay and the colours will go well off.
