I then save as scaled 16bits FITS or TIFF files and use registar to register all the panels. I save all the output as FITS. Then off to PS (CS5) where I use a script to load all the registered frames (FITS) in separate layers. I use Trimarchi's Fitsplug to load the fits in PS. I then select them all and use autoblend > panorama ticked (not stacking) and voila! You've got your mosaic ready to start working on. PS works out the blending and levels to match all the gradients. Provided you did all the calibration work properly in CCD Stack.
Thanks Marc, I'll try out what you suggest.

Greg.
