/Applications/Hugin/HuginTools/enfuse -o stacked.TIF --exposure-weight=0 --saturation-weight=0 --contrast-weight=1 --hard-mask *.jpg

enfuse -o stacked.TIF --exposure-weight=0 --saturation-weight=0 --contrast-weight=1 --hard-mask *.jpg

I always find it handy to make a movie from my stack, great for a little movie magic in post:
