Mosaics ?

[Debo]

I'm having real trouble with Photomerge in PS Elements it can't seem to bring together my images, complete garbage 😡

What software do you guys use for creating mosaics?  Freeware would be nice 😁

Thanks

I haven't done many mosaics, but ICE seems to work well.  Image composite Editor.

I have done one mosaic project, on M31. I used Astro pixel processor to do the mosaicing work and it worked quite well outside some minor issues with some panel edges being perhaps more visible than i would have liked, but then again the data i fed it was not great and taken under significant light pollution. In the end it wasn't a big deal and some spot healing brush and other fiddling got rid of the few issues afterwards. APP takes forever and a half to do the processing though, i had to leave it running overnight on a pretty capable desktop PC because it took so long.

APP has a trial period that is free and has no limitations on how to use it.

IMerge for planetary (already processed images)

ImageJ different stitching plugins for DSO and fits prior to processing
