Also with my Lodestar I get a white horizontal line in guide images. Do you get that? I think I may have gotten a faulty Lodestar.

My thoughts exactly Greg. Laptop has 2GB at the moment, I'll have to put another 2GB in. I'll check the drivers are the latest also.
I do have a white vertical bar to the left of the lodestar image which Ive seen with another, but no horizontal line.

15mins of color in each channel is too little. I had to match color and saturate to bump the color up which was cheating.
Need to be meticulate with my processing also. Stretching without care causes all stars to oversaturate which I'll have to work on.
At f/9 alot more exposure time is needed to get some good data to use.
10m was just over the sweet point to stop the core being overexposed.
