Hard to say based off that! Can you post what you came away with?

I've always found that it's damned hard without mosaicking software controlling my (admittedly) equatorial mount I end up with very uneven overlap across my images.

So the way I do it:
Take a small stack of images on one area, then move on. Each stack of images gets the DSS treatment but I don't stretch the final images. I then mosaic the stacks with Microsoft ICE (great piece of free software). The final result I save and process in Photoshop.

If you just take single frames with movement in between then you're probably gonna be screwed cause it's hard to register the whole area. DSS can do it, but I keep running out of memory at full res.
