perform an image stack specifically for acm images. This is very similar to big_stack except the user does not have to specify a name for the intermediate sub-stack images.
% acm_stack --help Usage: acm_stack list.all 7 mean arg1 - Name of file with list of FITS images arg2 - number of images in sub-stacks arg3 - combine method (mean,median) The output image will be named: Big_Stack.fitsBelow is a simple example comparing simialr runs of acm_stack and big_stack.

| In the left-panel is a single acm image. The middle panel is a stack of 8 images with acm_stack. The right panel is a stack of 8 images with big_stack. In the latter two cases I used a substack number of N=4 and a mean was used to combine the pixels. |
