I have the latest version of this, does it rotate as well. I can stack alright on it, but does rotate.

by rotate, im assuming you mean removal of field rotation in the images.

Field rotation is removed by registax using the align feature

or do you physically mean rotate the image.

If so the last step of registax allows you to rotate your image to any angle.

Or do you mean rotate within the stacking, there is a picture of rotated frames on DSS, not sure whether this is what it means.

Got it, I usually align video, never done it with the images, trying to get rid of field rotation.
