A single frame looks good as a wallpaper and have even captured meteorites in 1 shot. I was using my canon 7d and and a 17-50mm lens set to 17mm.

Any help greatly appreciated.

Hi Kon,

DSS is not used for Startrails as it is designed for pin point stars and aligning all of the stars to get pin point image.

Your best bet is for a program called Startrails

The rest of the image is then done using programs like PS or GIMP.
