VideoStack For Planet Manual

Thank you for using VideoStack for Planet iOS app. It is an easy way to stack your video frames into a single photo. Stacking is a way to combine the images so that noise is removed in the final image. See below 2 photos of 1 frame vs 40 frames. Previously, in order to image a planet, it is quite a long workflow.
