We had a big push on our post-lucky imaging pipeline. As part of this, we renamed it The Thresher and Foreman-Mackey made a sweet github-hosted web page for it. We are very close to release, and over lunch we discussed last things to do before writing paper zero. Paper zero will compare The Thresher to traditional lucky imaging, showing that we win in signal-to-noise at fixed resolution, and win in resolution at fixed signal-to-noise. No smoothing applied! We fit the best band-limited scene to all the data. At Camp Hogg, We Don't Throw Away Data (tm).
[By the way, in case you think a thresher throws away husks, you might be confusing a thresher with a winnower. Indeed, if I ruled the world, I would rename traditional lucky imaging pipelines winnowers
