I am only a dirty visual sort of primate, but you sure have a heck of a lot of stars in there. Someone has got to let you know where this didn't quite work out. C'mon folks!

Hi Graham 

 

15 shots 120 seconds @ iso 800 with the ed 80 field flattener, guided on eq5. Stacked in dss, final process in Affinity Photo. Also tried the stacking option in Affinity with same result

It looks very noisy.

 

What does it look like when it comes out of DSS?

I am amazed they are a brilliant piece of kit. 

As Steve says. 

Be interesting to see an unprocessed image and a single sub.

Had a quick go with it, bear in mind its the jpg I have played with.

 

you could do with giving the sensor a quick blow with a urrcna blower or do flats.

 

Looks like you are fighting with LP as well more subs will help but a dark site is much better.

 

In your origonal I think you have pushe dit too far TBH.

Gentle small steps with processing works better than a big stretch to start with.

 

Hope this helps

Have to agree with Steve. 

There is a lot of noise in there. 

Could be caused by imaging through high thin cloud and moisture. 

This also reflects lp.

I have had loads of subs ruined lately with exactly the same problem.
