I stack RAW files in DSS... The reason being that RAW images contain much more dynamic range data than a JPG. DSS has alot more usable information to play with and will almost always produce a more 'real to life' image.

You've also captured a good range of exposures, which always helps to capturing something with varying surface brightness, and you've done well in resolving right the way through to the core..

Only thing missing is some color... In DSS, under 'RAW/FITS settings' on the left hand side (bout 3/4 of the way down the window) Make sure you have the following options checked.
In the RAW tab:
Use Camera White Balance.

In the Fits Tab.
16bit Monochrome FITS files are RAW files by a DSLR or Color CCD.

Also in the FITS tab you can select your camera from a drop down list undernieth the afforementioned check box.

Great image mate. Keep them coming!
