Possibly you have captured too many sets of data (or at least more than needed), without seeing it is hard to say. You could try stacking the 10s and 30s data together, and the 60s and 120s data together, leaving you with two integrations. Stretch the first set for the core, and the 2nd set for everything else.



Bring them into Photoshop, open as a stack. Place the higher exposed integration on top. You can then merge them a number of ways. The Orion core is fairly easy to just blend in by hand, so take a brush, set hardness to 0, opacity to 100 and mask the core in roughly. Then reduce the brush opacity to say 50%, and feather in the transition until it looks natural.



More advanced methods would be using techniques like luminosity masking, which are effective but may be more tricky depending on your level of Photoshop experience.
