| Keith's Image Stacker | | Description: | Keith's Image Stacker is an image processing program that is oriented primarily toward astrophotography.
What it provides, more than anything else, is a workspace in which to align many similar images (say from a quicktime movie of Jupiter taken through a telescope with a webcam) and then to produce a stack of the images, which consists of a single image that comprises either the sum, or the average, or some value in between of the individually stacked images. Stacking images is a well-established method for increasing the signal-to-noise ratio in a series of similar images. True "information" will shine through the stack, while random noise will drop out.
Note: MacOS required, carbon, meaning OS X or any reasonably recent OS 9 or 8).
