i use it,just make sure when you image you overlap pictures,put all in folder,then browse to that folder

the programme then reads contents and builds a mosaic using the ones that match,but i think it only handles jpg images not sure ,will check

have never tried tiff format,i know it didn't handle raw from camera,but it is good for putting together images,just let it browse a folder

and it sorts all out,here is a very bad example lol (pic quality wise),think it was around 20-30 pictures

the stitched image would need cropped as you see by the staggered edges

Thanks all. I've been fiddling about with it and it does do TIFFs happily. It also does seamless blends but you have to watch which image gets modified the most. I seem to think that NIk did an Astronomy Now article on it but I can't find it in the house.

I do mosaics, at present, using a mixture of Registar and manual. Registar does the registration perfectly but is not (as I'm using it) up for reliably seamless blends. So I'm thinking of using the two of them in succession. I still think that you have to process each component panel very carefully indeed. The 'chuck it all in and click' solution won't work for uptight perfectionsists, I don't think.  :grin:

How about PI for mosaics Olly? I find it really easy and no processing is involved at the start, frame adaption will sort out the gradients, then I work on it in PS. I think its excellent for mosaics.

Fancy a free holiday, S? You seem to have it sussed.  :icon_salut:  Even Mr Mosaic himself, Tom, can't make it behave!

Do you use PI to mosaic at the linear or the stretched stage? Linear would be great but with big chips you run into serious computing issues. 300 meg is not something my machine relishes.

I like to keep control at each step. The trouble with natural colour imaging is that the tinest colour gradient is really offensive to the eye. But I'm listening...

I use it at the linear stage - It takes out the gradients and matches the frames up ready for the stretch - No fuss. How many panes are you looking at stitching?

This will only be six but there are a couple of very seriously big ones in the pipeline. Of course the field curvature issue grows with chip size so these are 6 full frames.

Hi

I did a tut here http://www.harrysastroshed.com/pixinsight/pixinsight%20video%20html/pixinsighthomeinter.html

with a couple of images from mr olly :)  this is it in its most basic form and manages most peoples requirements but Pi can register against a synthetic star

field for really curved frames , go on olly I know you can do it
