I image quite a few globs but with a DSLR ( pixel size 4.3uM ) and I’m under Bortle 8 skies
I don’t use any filters either
I never stack different exposure lengths in DSS , never have
Same exposure and same ISO
Here’s my settings in DSS
Don’t know if this helps at all
For processing I only use Startools and get a great result every time
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
Good luck and hopefully others will comment with some help
Cheers
