Thanks for the tips, I was trying to get the fastest exposure i could while maintaining about 50-60% on the histogram as I thought from what I've read, that it would lead to decent reaults.

I havent processed further than either stacking program (just rebuilt my computer and haven't put Photoslop back on yet).
