Let's say you have a galaxy and a noisy background.

I do 2 stacks:
(1) for the background with everything set to median
(2) the other with everything set to Kappa sigma clipping.

You can then combine the 2 images in layers with Photoshop.
You'll get a smoother background & sharper details in the brighter galaxy.
