Hi Darrin
I must admit, I dont have much XP on Nextimage but play around with gain settings to reduce artifacts but this may not be the issue.
First thing with Registax and planetary I use align with "Centre of Gravity" setting and "User Align" for about 130-150 for your magnifaction. With variations in each frame due to atmospherics regular alignment gets confused with fluctating atmospherics (not the case for moon shots). This may be causing your problem but not sure.
Personal preference for me on Wavelets I use "Gaussian - Linear" and increase the "Step Increment" to 1. These setting are really play around stuff to get the best results.
Unrelated to a point, for DSLR, stack no more than 500 images. Unfortunately the frame rate is too slow for Jupiter as the planets rotation is too fast and you will get bluring as the planet rotates.
CCD though I try to get minimum 2000 and select and Limit to 200-300. On Registax this is done setting the "Lowest quality" setting and looking at the slider in the middle for the number of frames to be processed. This ensures to get rid rid of some really bad out of focus frames.
All said and done, I use AVIStack now, it seems to get the best processing. I still use Registax as the "Colour Balance", "Colour Align" and "Histogram" feature are really good, especially if you dont get the white-balance correct.
Good luck with it.
