Affinity has a free trial period, it appears to be out of the UK, and there are numerous Youtube videos on using it for astro final image processing purposes. It's worth a look.
Hi Mike,
Thanks for the heads-up re Affinity 1.9.1. I just tried the new Affinity Astrophotography stacking module and was able to successfully load my image session FITS files. Affinity also gave me the option to view each individual frame before stacking and callibrating against my Darks, Flats and Bias frames.

Here's a couple of images from the workflow:
Image 1: Showing loaded FITS files into Affinity and viewing an individual frame.
Image 2: A very quick processed image of the stacked files

Chris.
