Stacking

[Simon Dunsmore]

Hi Folks, 

Sorry if this is silly question. I've taken a few astro images but up until this time I've only taken lights. I'm looking to add calibration frames on my next image but have a question about stacking. 

Do I add the flats, darks and bias to the stacking process as they are or do I stack them separately and then stack them with the lights or doesn't it matter? 

Thanks for your help

Simon, what are you using to stack them?

If you're using deep sky stacker (dss), you simply open each type and it will do all the work for you. It will combine each into a 'master' and then apply it

As James said, but whatever stacking software you are using, you should read the instructions which will explain where to put your calibration subs.
