I guess this is understandable considering the conditions are so dark and it would make it near impossible to compare key points of images. However it does do an average of selected images to compose the foreground subjects. Eg the tree in my shot moved a lot in the wind but it averaged out that movement. The program also has an export as movie function and it could be of the stars moving across the sky or a simple time lapse movie of setting up a shoot or of moving traffic.
