Creating a mosaic with TSX and PixInsight.
I've wanting to start my first mosaic this summer. the target I'm choosing is Orion's belt and sword.
I have TSX set up with the mosaic grid set up and framed for my image scale and rotation and I can import that target list to CCDAP5 no problems. I hit go the other night but had some guiding problems but by the looks of things everything imported ok and was working well for image acquisition.
The question I have is about strategy. what is the best way to go about it in your experience?
How many subs per panel would you normally take. I know this would be dependent on the target. But I was thinking that as a mosaic would be pretty high resolution the noise should be buried in the signal pretty well.
Also do I take say 10 images of each panel then move on to the next or take one image each panel and start again. I think I know the answer to this one but worth asking just in case.
Also I dont see how to to stack and align them in PixInsight. Any tips on how to achieve this would be great.
I'll get to processing once I've figured out all of the above.
Thanks
