I normally use DSS to stack but I noticed that when I did it the Austosave file appeared to be "blured" and lacked sharpness that was in the individual files. This was particularly evident with the double star at about the 1 O'clock position in the image.
So I tried nebulosity to do the stacking and that appeared to be better. However when I now look at the image the two stars in the posted jpeg they have still merged a bit due to the reduced size and possibly jpeg artifacts.
Ive attached an unprocessed image of NGC1398 and if you look at the double stars there you can see what I mean as there is a clear separation between them which was NOT present after stacking with DSS, so i figured I had lost some detail.
Hope this helps
Allan
