I'm going to try this. Is there a program that stacks and reorients the pictures since the stars move a bit in 7 minutes?

I can't remember if it was Photoshop or Bridge, but I bet the HDR functionality in one of those programs might work.

So my MicroSD card got corrupted or something, and as I was sifting through the wreckage I came across a photograph that didn't get totally destroyed.

It reminds me of that one woman who had a "salvaged" photo album after the police recovered her stolen laptop, and a lot of her artwork had a few bytes missing and it led to very interesting images.
