No idea. I just did what I usually do, stacked my RAWs (yes only shoot RAW) in DSS and then saved the file from within DSS. So I guess the problem is somewhere in my DSS settings? But they are the same as my other settings that I have used except I used median instead of average method (or the other...

I'm uploading the stacked files to my onedrive and will post the link when it's done. I used comet mode as Jacques is moving so I wanted a stack of the comet with normal (not trailed) stars. What's weird is that DSS shows a normal image, but when saving as a TIFF it makes the brighter stars into don...
