Description: Image Stacking To put all of the light in a single place, each segment image must be stacked on top of one another. In the Image Stacking step, we move the individual segment images so that they fall precisely at the center of the field to produce one unified image. This process prepares the telescope for Coarse Phasing. The stacking is performed sequentially in three groups (A-segments, B-segments, and C-segments).
