I regards to the correct method of loading your data and calibration frames in DSS which have been captured over multiple nights can someone provide some clear concise proven method.There is so much information and varying advice on other forums it’s ridiculous

Test Case Example for say M8 ( camera not touched and same temperature and focus for both nights )

Night 1
Captured 40 lights
Captured 40 Flats
Captured 40 Bias

Night 2
Captured 50 lights

My Understanding
Load Bias into Main Group ( as Bias is common for both nights and is just recording noise )
Load Lights and Flats night 1 into Group 1
Load Lights night 2 into Group 2

Or alternatively

Load Bias into Main Group
Load Lights and Flats night 1 into Group 1
Load Lights night 2 into Group 1

NB : Light frames both nights are not plate solved , only aligned visually using zoom box ie: visually as close as possible within say 10 to 15 pixels

Appreciate some good advice and comments on the above from users of DSS

Many Thanks
