The stacking method is OK, but in this case a loop with five
iterations will not hurt. Assuming your image is stored in the array
IMAGE(600,800,5),

TOT = fltarr(600,800) ;; Cumulative total image
NSAMP = TOT ;; Number of valid samples per pixel
for i = 0, 4 do begin
nsamp = nsamp + (IMAGE NE 0) ;; Accumulate number of valid pixels
tot = tot + IMAGE ;; Accumulate total
end
mean = (TOT/NSAMP)

Of course you will want to check NSAMP to avoid dividing by zero.
