I looked at the image again and I think DSS stacking might have "eaten" a few stars in the top corners, I've had it happen a few times and had to reduce the number of stacked images for the problem to go away.

The middle section is fantastic with nice bright detail!

Cheers,
Alex

I like the astrotrac a lot, even with a very very rough polar alignment using just a compass and declination I could expose for 1 minute instead of 20 seconds without it. With proper PA you can go for really long exposures. I tried 1 minute with a 200mm lens without visible trails too.
In this case I exposed for 1 minute because I was having a condensatin nightmare so I had to wipe the lens often.
