Milky Way at the Zenith

Click image above to view full size
An easy series of 30 second exposures taken looking up at the Milky Way when at the zenith, arcing right over head (spectacular view in person). Stacked in RegiStar, which as it turned out, for the same image, produced a much better final result than DeepSkyStacker. The version of the image from DeepSkyStacker shows significantly more trailing throughout and distortion particularly towards the edges. RegiStar seems to have done a much better job.
