Electrostatic Detection ApparatusEnhancement Using Astronomical Image Stacking and Processing Software

To overcome the practical challenges of imaging very distant, dim, and moving astronomical objects, astronomers have well developed techniques for “tracking and stacking” multiple images of the same object to increase the signal-to-noise ratio of the final image. We have successfully applied the same techniques to multiple electronic detection device (EDD) lifts off the same document to enhance impressions too weak to be read from a single film.
