The PST will do an admirable job with the ToUcam. The biggest trick is to get the camera close enough... you might need to modify the nosepiece to get the camera closer for focus.

I usually capture about 600 frames (but I'll extend that if a cloud scuds through, etc). I process in Registax 5, so I use the stackgraph to drop the stack list to the best 250 frames and then eliminate the distorted frames by adjusting the difference slider to give the best 100 or so frames - which is what I stack.
