Hi rogerco,
This doesn't work as the noise produced by the camera sensor is random and shows up at different places/intensities on each image.
By stacking individual shots you smooth out that noise over the background of the image and boost the signal (stars and other stuff!)
Hope I've explained it well enough - it's just the law!!!!
Cheers
Doug
