When in the advanced tab start out with the star detection slider set at about 60 or 70%, [not 2%], compute, and if you get a huge number of stars detected [hundreds or thousands] go to a higher percentage and compute again, repeat until you have around 50-100 stars detected; that is all DSS
needs. The more stars detected the slower DSS will run, at 2% it will quite
possibly not even attempt to align and/or stack such vast numbers of stars,
and even if you have a premium computer it will run at glacial speed, like
many hours to stack say 50 subs, as opposed to minutes. Hope this helps.
