Ok here's the second attempt.
Olympus E-510, Zuiko 50mm f/1.8 OM lens stopped down to f/2.8, 1600, 15s, ICNR on (high), IS off, manual focus, 21 frames stacked with blending mode "lighten" and saved for the web in PS CS3. No other processing. More robust tripod and no zoom to mess up


.
I note the artifact on Gacrux is absent!
Just for fun (some might say art's sake

) the second one has the sharpest 4 images hidden for that stylised look
