First of all, i love your mod (a lot) and its a permanent mod in my load order (in Skyrim LE) For anyone looking for an alternative to this mod for Skyrim SE, check out this mod:
Great mod! The only issue I have with it is very minor and exclusively visual (the soul trapping effect is gone 99.9% of the time), and the good outweights the "bad" by far. Thanks for your work.

If you have Azura's Star, it will be filled with whatever soul you're capturing no matter what size it is. You could have 10,000 petty soul gems in your inventory, but if you have Azura's Star, the petty soul is going into it. This isn't THAT big of a deal, but it kind of defeats the purpose of the mod, which is to put souls in the smallest available container for their size. Most people who do a lot of enchanting will be carrying around Azura's Star since it's reusable, so the issue pops up time and time again. Since the mod was abandoned 3 years ago, there's very little chance it'll ever be fixed.
Azura's star DEFINITELY isn't meant for enchanting. Do you SERIOUSLY go find an enchanting table after EVERY. SINGLE. SOUL TRAP? Kill an enemy to fill azura's star, fast travel, enchant to empty azura's star, fast travel, kill 1 enemy to fill azura's star, fast travel, enchant to empty azura's star, fast travel, kill 1 enemy, fast travel, enchant, fast travel, kill 1 enemy, fast travel, enchant.... You won't finish a single quest like that. No, you fill a fuckton of soulgems (and azura's star ONCE), THEN go enchant. Nobody in their right mind uses azura's star to enchant, because it only holds 1 soul.
i use the black star. i don't have a steady stream of black soul gems coming in from anywhere. corrupted azura's star = easy grand soul gem when killing any humanoid

Best soul capture mod ever!
This mod works for me for Enderal and covers what this one does
Other than that, the mod works as intended.
PS: get the black star instead.
