You can use Photoshop to stitch the pre-processed panes together. The Difference blending mode helps you to align the panes. Process all of the panes with this same workflow for consistency.

Save your work by using the Save TIFF command this will create a 16-bit TIFF image in your working directory, which can be loaded in many programs for post-processing. The values of the Van-Cittert deconvolution are dependent on the sky conditions, therefore each time you apply it you need to find the best combination. The first value is the FWHM radius of the stacked image, the second value is the number of iterations. You need to define two values in order to run it. To apply that, use the Van-Cittert command. Here a Van-Cittert deconvolution can be a useful technique. At this point, only the sharpening is missing. The next step is to stack the aligned frames by using the Add_Norm command. In this menu, you can align the frames to the sharpest one. Once done, select Processing > Planetary Registration (1) from the top navigation menu. Use the Best Of and Select commands for this activity. Next, you need to do a quality analysis and grade the single frames in a decreasing order.
