The sun can be difficult to stack (at least in white light) because of the lack of features for the stacking program to align on.
I have had good results from AutoStakkert!2, using the Surface image stabilization setting, Gradient quality estimator, and using auto alignment points (Place APs in Grid). My last solar image used ~500 APs (and it took about 2.5 hrs to process).
I used to use Registax (v5 and then v6), but I really would recommend AS!2 over both versions, it is just so much better for multi point alignment, for planets or surfaces.
