Subs are reviewed visually ….
In Astap I adjust the histogram accordingly and view / inspect each sub at 100% zoom in say 2 areas for the following -

Star shape
Star bloat
Passing Cloud
Neighbour’s switching on floods lights etc…
Focus ( I use my Star diffraction spikes as a guide )

Then zoom out to normal full frame view and inspect for satellite trails and aircraft trails etc…

I’ve never relied on scores from software, always my eyes
Takes some time but always works for me
