This is another example of using alt/az setup with No guiding, by using 400 subs the curved/egg shaped stars seem to round out well after stacking in DSS, I think more subs would make it better, the processing in Startools brings out some fine detail, this is also my 1st attempt at using subs at multiple iso settings.

Great work Wayne Huge number of subs there (obviously you need this for your setup), but I was wondering how does your computer cope with stacking so many? I know that my PC takes quite a while once I start stacking 150-200 subs or more, hate to think how long 400 subs would take !!
Yes Richard it takes a while to process even with my intel corei5 processor and 8gig of ram, I start it as I go to sleep and by morning all done (about 5hrs for 400subs)
