HDR Orion processing

Hey everyone, I’m needing some advice on how best to process multiple sets of data on Orion for a HDR effect and to hopefully process without a blown out core.

I understand I would stack and process each set separately with calibration frames in Siril and take into Photoshop. And then use layer masks in Photoshop and then blend in the core. What I am not sure of is the following:

I have captured 4 sets of data, 30 x10secs, 30 x 30 secs, 30 x 60 secs and 30 x 120 secs. All done on a OSC (533Mc pro) and shot on the same night, same session, no change to camera orientation. Was this overkill? Did I only need 2 sets of data, say 120 secs and 10 secs?

How do you align the separate images after stacking and processing?

How do you merge and blend the layers with 4 final images? Or should I just use the longest and shortest sets of data?

Any help or pointers would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks
Mark
