That is why I like the track and stack method because you can ditch the satelite frames and continue. I also like AIP4WIN software as the software has loads of tools and utilities for exactly these reasons.
The last pic as you say is not the best but certainly presentable.
I have played around with lots of raw data but as yet still to take my own.

Hi Steve
Actually, if you use a combine method that removes the outliers, you don't discard the whole frame--you only discard those pixels in a frame that are wildly different from the corresponding pixels in the other frames. In the case of a satellite trail, all the pixels in the frame except the satellite ones are used.
