Stacking with coverage correction
A feature request for AstroArt 5:
-
Center the images to stack by some means (here using the weighted average of all pixels brighter than some threshhold)
-
Track the number of images covering every individual pixel of the resulting image while stacking
-
Compensate for uneven coverage by scaling the values in the regions with non-maximum coverage
-
(nice to have: allow images of different sizes. this is usually not needed.)
Example: Chunks to center and stack
