I have a question for the #Astrophotographer and #Mathematician folks out there.

What is the smallest number of frames you could perform a drizzle transform on?

Could you, for example, perform it on two frames, and then submit that image to a livestacking process?

Does this idea even make sense?

As for "Why do this?", I am looking at the #SmartTelescope world, and wondering if you could perform the resolution increase in conjunction with live stacking, without resorting to post-processing. This is to attempt to allow a software-only capability upgrade, while still maintaining the convenience.

I figured I'd ask here first, because (conceptually) it seems almost too simple.
