I can integrate these two images fine:

What I did:

Since there aren’t too many stars ( 100-200) I lowered kappa in the star analysis to 4

3) analyse stars ,

detect above noise

kappa 4

4) registration

since this is data from Pi and data from APP, clearly different sources, you need to

deselect same camera and optics ( a registration tool from a program is in technically speaking also a camera, it warps your data )

and

enable distortion correction

Then

5) normalize, I set normalization mode to advanced ! This will have the effect that the normalization parameters are only calculated on the area of the stacks that overlap. This will give better data normalization in this case ( this is one of the innovative feautures in APP).

6) Integrate

– composition mode FULL, we wwant to keep all data of both stacks in the final stack

– LNC set to 2nd degree, 3 iterations

– enabled MBB 10%

-Lanczos3 with no under/overshoot

and then stacked

The result is shown in the screenshot, notice that the seams of the stacks are hardly visible now..

So you can also do this with the OIII combine you did ?

Let me know if you can duplicate this result on the H alpha combination of the 2 stacks.
