I believe Deep Sky Stacker (DSS) is the 'de-facto' stacking software for stacking night sky images, particularly 'invisible' features like nebula and to get enhanced images of the Milky Way with it's gas clouds etc. It seems the only really capable sky stacking software which is Mac native is Starry Sky Stacker. While it seems to work OK, I would like an option to use DSS.

I only run Mac's (currently on 10.13.6) don't and want to get into Boot Camp or other emulation software. Handling the process is challenge enough without having to deal with software incompatibilities as well.

I have found this software, which claims to allow DSS to run on the Mac, does anyone know anything about it? Is it idiot proof or best avoided?

Will these 'Onion Skins' work with other software and do they involve getting one's hands dirty? (delving into command line code etc.)

(The Splash screen just kicked in AGAIN..., And it deleted the Title and Description Again???) o.O
