Stacked? What a struggle!

Wow! So I ran off a sequence of the Iris Nebula last night. It was just rising from the Ivy on the Fence when I got my second alignment done.
So without doing anything to them, I thought I'd see what Deep Sky Stacker would do, and if it could even begin to process them. So I loaded the FIT's, then cheated and threw in my dark's from before, hoping the rainbow sprinkles would be terminated...
But hey! It did process, so that's some progress.

Wa-La! Le Results! (I have no idea what to do with this... )

Output TIF from DSS. I've seen puke that made more sense than this.

Hang in there Sonny I'm sure you will get lots of help here real soon.
I try to shoot my Darks and Bias shots at the same temp and exposure as my Lights.

I like the 2nd one best; far better star color. But then again I like colorful astro-images!

Something is really wrong. You shouldn't be getting results like this. Perhaps one of us need to give it a try with your lights and darks?

But it is a very good trick turning a mere sprinkle into a star. Even Star Trek couldn't do that! And I suspect that Einstein didn't even know this could be done!
