I use a DSLR and load my light frames ( Raw ) and dark frames into DSS and get a great result each time
I don’t touch the final stacked image as Startools requires clean untouched linear data
Here’s my procedure -

DSS Settings DSLR and Startools

Raw Files / Fits Digital Development
Raw files tab
White Balance
Uncheck both “use auto white balance” and “use camera white balance”
Bayer Matrix Transformation
Check Bilinear Interpolation
Leave Set the black point to 0 box unchecked
Fits files tab leave blank or unchecked

Stacking Parameters
Tick use all available processors in all tabs
Result check Standard
Light tab check Kappa Sigma clipping
Dark tab check Kappa Sigma clipping
Flat tab check Median
Alignment tab check Automatic
Intermediate Files check Fits
Output tab tick create output file, check autosave tif/fits , tick Append a number to avoid file override, check Create output file in the folder of the reference frame

In Stacking Steps
RGB Channels Background Calibration - No
Per Channel Background Calibration- No
Register Settings Advanced Tab check “Reduce noise by using a Median filter

Don’t know if the above helps you at all ??

Maybe some others can offer more help

Cheers

Have you tried processing the DSS output file in Startools? I find that the output file from DSS can often be severely lacking in detail/appear black on dimmer objects. The processing in Startools, or whatever you use will then bring out any detail that's hiding in there...

DSS issue

If the histogram shows nothing then check the output file, for some reason every now and again mine defaults and an output file that doesn't exist is used- hence no final product. Create a new one and see if this works
