CCDstack is a great program but for me its one big weakness is memory control. It creates massive files (a colour version of my LMC was 1.2 gigabytes in CCDstack!).
Maximum I can process of STL11 files in CCDstack is 6. That is using a duo core 2 processor with 2 gigabytes of fast latest type RAM.
If I try 7 I get memory errors. I usually do 5 at a time.
But CCDstack's best feature is its natural work flow matches the steps you have to take to process your images.
