I use ccdstack for my stl11000, so I guess i should try it, thanks Lewis.

Dont know Ray, I might do some research on that.

I guess these images were "dithered" between frames as there was a little polar alignment drift.

Thankyou Alchemy. Ill look into that.

It's a right nuisance. No amount of darks (taken at the same temp) helped. Someone suggested dithering, that didn't help either.
In the end I caved and bought a cooled DSLR and only use my stock DSLR for long exposure work when the ambient temp is below 10C.
