Thanks guys, sounds like you both have had a lot of fun with it.

Does it have any rejection algorithms, like can it recognise satellite trails or aircraft? If you could set a FWHM size would be good to, so it can reject subs with fat stars.
If it did have these, this process could revolutionise astrophotography into the future. Especially now with low noise CMOS cameras allowing shorter subs than CCD's. As the saying goes its the total integration time that counts not the sub length.

EDIT: Hemi, I just had a look at the images you posted and they came out not too bad, darks (and/or dither) will eliminate the hot pixels, and flats will eliminate the bright spot in the centre. You also answered my question about FWHM as well.
If you have Startools, don't do any stretching or white balance in Sharpcap (must be saved as a FITS file), let Startools do it all.
