What are you using to process your images? If you don't have any software at present I could recommend startools. It's reasonably priced and very effective - although idiosyncratic. I started on it then moved to pixinsight. There are others which some can suggest. Or even fitswork (free) - you can do some basic 'stretching'. Stretching moves your image from linear-to nonlinear - brings out the intensity region of interest. But with that you need to do noise reduction etc which is what dedicated AP software will give you
I'm using DSS to stack then Photoshop CC '18 to process. A fellow iceinspacer Karlsberg has told me about startools. I downloaded the demo to give it a go and it kept freezing so I parked that idea but the more I hear about it, the more I think it's time to make that small investment and try it.

Thank you for your input Chris
