I keep my processing simple. I use Deep Sky Stacker. I just click on my lights, darks and flats and it does it all automaticaly. Maybe it's not as good as more advanced programs, but I have been happy with the results.

Thanks Ross,
Maybe that is where I am going wrong, When I stack using DSS only with darks and bias frames added the image after the stack is black pointed, way to the black end of the histogram and this cannot be processed out so maybe I need to add the flat frames to even everything out?

What are the length of exposures you are taking to get this amp glow? This is something I need to look out for.

Paul
