Alphonsus Lunar Crater - Stacking Video Frames in Lynkeos

Virtual Pathfinder video "Alphonsus Lunar Crater - Stacking Video Frames in Lynkeos", produced 10 January 2022. Music by The Infinite Wave. This video is a test to stack selected frames from a short video clip of the region near Alphonsus Lunar Crater. The neighboring crater Albategnius and Klein is used to determine the detail resolution of the final image. The open source software Lynkeos for Mac OS is used for stacking the frames.

Sometimes "Less is more" - when stacking hundreds of frames, like I've done in this video, all distinct features are softened and look rounded. The noise is reduced and much detail become clear, at the same time as the edges of the craters are not as distinct as I would like them to be. In another video I may try to automatically or manually stack a smaller number of frames 5-20, to see if that makes it possible to reduce noise without averaging out the sharp edges. Since the atmospheric turbulence is distorting the shapes, I think the selection of frames are more important than having a large number of frames.
