Stacking 50 shots of Orion's Belt with a cheap tripod gave me a clear shot

I was getting blurry star trails with my old DSLR, even at 15 second exposures. A guy at the Denver astronomy club told me to try stacking 50 quick 2-second shots instead of one long one. I used DeepSkyStacker and the result was way sharper than anything I'd done before. Has anyone else found that stacking beats a single long exposure for basic gear?
