  • Median Stacking

This method is mostly used for dark/flat/offset stacking. The median value of the pixels in the stack is computed for each pixel. As this method should only be used for dark/flat/offset stacking, it does not take into account shifts computed during registration. The increase in SNR is proportional to [math]\displaystyle{ 0.8\sqrt{N} }[/math].

  • Pixel Maximum Stacking

This algorithm is mainly used to construct long exposure star-trails images. Pixels of the image are replaced by pixels at the same coordinates if intensity is greater.

  • Pixel Minimum Stacking

This algorithm is mainly used for cropping sequence by removing black borders. Pixels of the image are replaced by pixels at the same coordinates if intensity is lower.
