I don't think there is a good canned solution, H. I have seen some threads with suggested workflows for fixing blooming, e.g. http://pixinsight.com/forum/index.ph...34867#msg34867

It seems to work well for the 3x2, but, falls apart when doing 4x2. It's not matching well, at all. No biggie, I will have to fix it up in Photoshop or weight via PixelMath on the pre-GMM'ed registered images using masks.
Ah, that's right! A fantastic target for a mosaic.

I've only tried my hand at a mosaic once (the recent Veil in Ha) and everything worked well. I nearly have enough data to complete a Ha/OIII bi-colour now so fingers crossed that it all goes together smoothly.

Cheers,
