Mixing Lum exposures of diff lengths

Hi all,

Given the following:

30 x 180s L
20 x 300s L

exposures of a deep sky object, where neither image saturate the chip (so HDR not required) can anyone recommend the best way to utilise the data? I wouldn't want to just average all 50 frames because that would bring down the brightness of the 300s exposures, but I also don't want to waste the 180s exposures which could even out the noise in background areas.

Advice?

Regards,
Roger.
