thanks, i use Nebulosity now which works for me. I was using DSS a few months back and i always seemed to have trouble with it.

I shot this from western Canada July of 2016. Processed this out of a single exp as i had trouble stacking my subs. 300 secs, guided, 80mm doublet, Modded Canon 550d. https://www.flickr.com/photos/49843779@N08/29239414483/in/dateposted/
