Stack with Deep Sky Stacker.
Stretch in NASA FITS Liberator.
Process with Photoshop & Fitswork 4.
I think these days that Pixinsight is needed to be up with the game!
I don't have it.

I'll admit learning Pixinsight is about as much fun as bamboo under the fingernails. But its gradient removal, masked stretching, image registration and stacking is
simply excellent....
I'm sure there is much more cool stuff PI can do...but after becoming adept at just those four it's taking some time for my fingernails to recover

The 230 Euro price tag is not overly punitive, particularly given subsequent (and frequent) free updates, plus you can run it on Win. Mac and Linux platforms.
BTW I really detest Adobe's subscription policy, and expect there will be a time when I tell them where to shove it...
