A quick, five minute daub:

But is it art?

I agree, nice prom, just had a look myself.  Good seeing in the clear patches.    😀

Good catch, In the process of unpacking the camper van after the aborted SGL SP and setting everything back up in the garden, may be ready before sunset, bit breezy though.

Thanks and good luck.

Highly variable seeing conditions here despite a mostly cloudless sky.

Lovely fine details visible there.

Thanks Pete but I'd like a lot more finesse.
It's my lack of skill with Registax mostly.
I can see the fine detail on the computer screen during the capture.
Getting it show in the final image still eludes me.

Its been a while since i switched to Autostakkert, so my memories of Registax is a little blurry. Are you using alignment "dots" for your alignment or boxes?

[Rusted]

Thanks Pete. I usually cover only the area of interest in spots. Registax usually likes to add too many spots in blank areas.
So I usually reduce them in number so that Alignment doesn't take too many long minutes. It regularly falls asleep on me during alignment!
It's not because my laptop is slow. Anything but with W10,  i7 and SSDs!

I repeatedly try Autostakkert but still find it completely opaque and can never discover how to find the finished "still" afterwards.
Trying to re-send to Registax for Wavelets has never worked for me. Presumably because I don't have a finished still.
I keep trying iMPPG too but it remains stolidly "unhelpful."

It is the processing which is denying me the detail I can see steadily on my 25" HD monitor.
Registax often displays a stacked image far worse than any single frame! How is that even possible?
I scrap loads of attempts at Registax and have to start over.

What I badly need is a "Processing for Dummies" which doesn't tax my remaining 1.5 brain cells.
I repeatedly watch the YT guides and have forgotten half of it by the time they have waffled on and on.
[Much like I do!]
