How many darks would you normally do for star trails, Mike? I think I used about 10 for this image.
Thanks Doug!
Cheers,

Hi Stephen. For my recent star trails, I had no darks. But I wish I did have some, because I can see lots of hot pixels in mine.
DSS can now do star trails - have you tried it?

Eric, you'd have to take the darks at the end and not use ICNR.
If the temperature has varied too much, then they may or may not be useful. They may still get rid of hot pixels.
