Just testing out a lens (SMC 200mm Super Tak) on my EM1, about a 20% crop.

10 Stacked (manually) in Photoshop CC. For some reason auto align would not work.

Auto align has to read a specific amount of info in order to align. Manual stacking?

correct, which the files certainly had, since they were only taken a few seconds apart. I'm sure I was doing something wrong...I need to reattempt to align them.

photoshop says it needs I think 40% of the total image to have enough contrasting info in order to align, I'm guessing that the sky would really have to be packed with stars in order for that to happen. I had the same problem with this image...
