I was on the ride on mower this afternoon about 4pm and I came to the conclusion that I would like to, when my new mount arrives soon, do something on the order of a 200 panel mosaic.
My plan is to put my Nikon D700 onto my frac, FX OSC camera at ~670mm FL. The plan is to just do single 120s frames at ISO 1600 starting at the centre of the Milky Way and basically spiralling outwards from there. If I can organise it better I'd prefer to start from the west side and slowly work my way east so that I am fighting the Earth's rotation. The whole lot can be done in one night.
My question is however, would I be better using software like PTGui to create the super file to begin with or process every frame individually and slowly add it onto a master mosaic?
This whole idea may eventually just end up falling into the "too hard basket" but who knows
