You are correct here, combining two images at 50%, produces an average. Be aware that when you add the 3rd image, the opacity must be at 33% to maintain a true average. The 4th image is blended at 25%, the 5th at 20% and so on. If you use 50% each time, you will end up with an image that is made up of half of one noisey frame.

cheers
