NGC 300 with computer rant

My very expensive laptop gave up last weekend (one year old) so whilst Messr's Harvey Norman are sorting it out had to fall back on my old venerable Sony Viao from yonks ago and also a little Asus netbook. Both as I could not get The Sky X and a QSI camera and an SX camera and an SSAG camera all working at the same time. Funny heh?
So had to run TSX and PHD guiding on one lappie with the SX camera taking shots via Nebulosity, and the QSI through the other doing LRGB.
Upshot of it all -was a complete waste of time!
All my LRGB subs -because of not dithering in the same programme or even same computer, won't register and smear colours all over the LRGB in maxim.
The luma is ok though.
The SX was not bad but I was using it through an 80mm scope in moonlight so have to seriously work out the flats/gradients thing for this OSC.
Upshot of it all is this is really the only shot I would publish!
I was guiding 700sec subs so this is the luma of the LRGB x 7 subs each.
If someone could show me how to stack LRGB in DSS I would be mighty grateful!!
Cheers
