Didn't know if you knew about this newish version. It stacks images on the fly .

DeepSkyStacker Live features:

* Automatic stacking of incoming images
* Preview of the resulting and last image
* Compatible with all DSLRs and CCD Cameras
* Live statistics
* Customizable warnings if something is going wrong (clouds, drift…)
* Very simple User Interface

Yep that's what I have been using here. I have the laptop outside controlling the camera with ImagesPlus, and running DSS Live on the desktop in the house. Basically I get DSS Live to point to the laptop outside for the images, each time one is done it just grabs the image and brings it in via wireless to begin the stacking. I like the 'dont stack if' feature, helps if you get that stray cloud sweeping through your exposure.
