    Have you turned on automatic realignment to account for the apparent motion of the stars in the sky between each exposure? – Michael C Feb 14 '15 at 8:35

  • What software are you using to stack the images? That's were you would do alignment. – Michael C Feb 16 '15 at 6:07

The Earth rotates, which causes the stars to appear to move, which would be expected to cause them to appear blurry when the images are stacked. Consider using a program, such as align_image_stack to align the stars before stacking.

See Cannot align images with align_image_stack.
