AlignByCoordinates Combination Methods

Zak’s Astrophotography

Hi Adam,

I've just watched your new AlignByCoordinates video. I have some data imaged at different imaging scales for a few objects, and would like try and combine them with this script.

I am wondering how would one go about combining these images together. Would you do it in PixelMath, ImageIntegration etc.? Would the number of images to combine influence which one you would choose?

Well..I suspect it isn't likely you are going to have many of these master frames to combine.

If you have three or more you would just use ImageIntegration without rejection. You want ImageIntegration to apply the proper weights to the images when they are stacked.

If you only have two frames.. you will need to make a copy of each (4 frames total) for ImageIntegration to do its thing.

The key is you want the weighing of the images... whcih you would not get with pixelmath.
