I realized what it is about the eclipse image set that makes it so challenging to find and use #astrophotography tools to align them all.
In many cases with astro images, the goal is stacking, i.e., aligning a feature of interest across multiple images where that feature is positioned arbitrarily. In effect, you're "solving" for a single, static variable, and assuming anything that doesn't correlate with it is noise and can be safely eliminated.
