Is the principle - A/ debayer and calibrate frames from each camera then produce a master light from each then combine Master light 1 and 2 ?
Or debayer and calibrate each then stack them all together?
Both options would work but I'd expect that combining all the frames in one integration would produce the best results (gives the rejection algorithm more data to work with.) Try both and compare the results...

PI is able to deal with distortion as well as simple translation, rotation and scaling.
