The first image file is again the top
window in MaxIm. Select a second
alignment star near the opposite edge
of the image. Repeat the process by
clicking on the second star in each
image. When you click on the star in
the last image, MaxIm will make a bell
sound indicating that the alignment
process is complete.
Make sure the Output field is set like
you want: Sum, Average or Median.
Average will generally yield the best
results if none of the images have any
cosmic ray hits or other anomalous
errors. Click OK to combine the
images. MaxIm will open a new
window with the combined image.
