help needed imaging saturn

I am surprised that each time i try to image saturn I end up with stacked images which are so bright that any detail I may have captured is lost. I believe that I have some detail as when over processing I get patterns on the surface but it looks awful. The more still frames I stack in registax the brighter the image. So, is it best to image saturn with the image in my capture software set to very low brilliance so that I cant actually see the detail in the hope that the stacking and processing will bring the image out?
I'm using a neximage. ( and with my 4" Mak i'm not sure if i'm supposed to see detail or not anyway). I found that turning down the brilliance in registax did not help neiter did adjustment of contrast.

If anyone has a frame from an AVI which shows the brightness of the recorded AVI compared to the end result, this might help me gauge how dim I need to record.
