Astrophoto -- software for stacking images

What do you guys use for stacking images and photo enhancement? Does it make
any difference whether it is a planet/moon or a deep sky object?

I use Maxim to stack long exposure images, and usually K3CCD to stack
video images. Sometimes I use Registax for video images. I normally
limit my processing in these programs in favor of Photoshop after the
stacking is complete.

Pretty much any stacking program will handle either video files
(lunar/planetary) or small sets of individual frames (DSO). I prefer
Maxim for the latter because of its ability to stack based on an
astrometric solution, something none of the dedicated stackers can do.

Depends what you want to do

That one (it is free and I have no connection with its author) is one of
the better ones for very large stuff (many heavy high-end dslr frames).

For planetary AVIs, you have registax, k3CCD etc...
