That turned out so well ! Do you think that Microsoft program would work well for star fields also ?

Thanks.
Have a look at https://www.astrobin.com/search/?q=micr ... ice&page=3 , an Astrobin search for Microsoft ICE. Mainly lunar but there are some deep sky mosaics in there.
This search microsoft ice deep sky mosaics turns up plenty of references.
I will be trying this later in the year with the Cygnus region, having only used ICE with lunar up to now.
