Dither

In astronomical imaging, dither is a small movement of the telescope between images, resulting in a slight offset in the target in each image. During stacking the images are realigned, resulting in the pixel defects moving around relative to the image. Statistical combine methods such as Sigma Clip are then used to eliminate the bad pixels, resulting in a cleaner image.
