Widefield Stiching

[Shelster1973]

Managed to grab me two widefield passes of ISS last night, was very happy with myself.  In fact, was like a little child when I first saw it rise and wizz over my head......anyhoos.....what is the best way to merge the series of phots together so as to show the full pass?

Have no experience of this type of merging / stacking,

Am feeling that some sort of star trail type software would be needed so as to not remove the trail that I want to keep.

Cheers

Are they a series of shots from a fixed tripod covering different parts of the ISS Pass?  I used to use Startrails to stitch them together... It can be downloaded from here... http://startrails.de/html/software.html

Here's one from 2011....

If you have "overlapping" images that you want to stitch together in a  mosaic then Microsoft ICE does a pretty decent job for the price

Finally got round to doing one of the stitching......

A fair bit of rotation on the main stars.  Have not done any tweaking or anything in PS.....that will come later on......
