Drift integration software, sometimes called image stacking software, re-aligns the images that have drifted when captured by a web cam.

Drift integration is a technique used in digital astrophotography to capture high-quality images of celestial objects. Unlike traditional methods that rely on precise tracking of stars, drift integration leverages the natural motion of the night sky caused by the Earth’s rotation. The process involves allowing the stars to drift across the camera’s field of view while capturing a series of images over time.
