Would this work with very wide fields, e.g. 10x15 degree FOV with my DSLR and 135 mm lens?

I'd personally also be interested in being able to plan the exact time of day (possibly over several nights) when each pane of the mosaic should be captured so that imaging is done at the highest altitude possible (i.e. near/on the meridian).

Ideally, I'd like to be able to look at a sky chart, draw/lasso the area that I want to image, provide the camera/lens FOV and a range of dates/times of when imaging would be done, the duration to spend imaging each panel, and have the software dump out a list of panels with RA/Dec coordinates and imaging times.

I don't know if there's any free software that can do this already, so I'll probably be doing it by hand...
