I've been using PixInsight for a while and I don't think I've ever seen this issue I'm having. I shot images of Comet NEOWISE with my Canon DSLR. Images are 4 seconds with a 200mm lens. Overall, each sub frame looks pretty good but the stars are slightly streaked if you zoom in on the image due to the fact that I shot them from a tripod with no tracking. Images have been calibrated with dark frames and have been de-bayered. Star alignment finds stars and completes successfully but the output images are NOT aligned. The only thing I can figure is that the stars are not round and maybe that's affecting the alignment process. Any help would be appreciated. I attached a screenshot of the Star Alignment parameters and included the process log:
