Yeah, I think one of the reasons for using the software is that rather than doing 1 long, potentially streaky shot, you take several shorter exposures to minimise/avoid the trails, then it aligns and combines the images for you. I think I read about it on DPS if that helps

I think the example was 3x 8s shots.
