Next time around, try stacking the sets of subs separately, then combining them together in photoshop using layer masks to gently blend them all together
a good guide on how to blend 2 exposures can be found here

Thanks Alex, Yes I did stack separately and stacked every other way trying to bring out the Trap. Masks

a dark area for me, I've actually been to that web site you linked to and followed step by step but got lost at Step 7, the tutorial states '
Step 7 - Open a New View of the image
- VIEW > NEW VIEW will open up a copy of the composite. Place it on the left.
This is were I got lost, is this CS3 friendly or is it an older version they are referring to?
Thanks Alex for your time.
