Animation of the pixel sorting and stacking

Animation of the pixel sorting and stacking
Animation of the pixel sorting and stacking The original images are arrayed left to right and are centered on MK2, and then the pixels are sorted by value, with the brightest pixels at each location moving to the left, and the darkest moving to the right. Cosmic rays and background stars end up isolated in the right-most frame, and the selected frame at the end of the animation is clear of most spurious artifacts. Alex Parker
