Eta Carina Mosaic
Managed my first successful attempt at a mosaic last night. BYEOS, Astrotortilla and CdC etc are nice but I really want one program to do it all , including auto focus, so I'm migrating to SGP. SGP worked like a champ last night, I quickly setup a 2 panel mosaic and away it went plate solving and auto focus and all!
2 panels x 6 x 600s at iso1600 on the 1200D with 12nm Ha filter
WO Star 71
HEQ5 PRO
SGP
Quick and dirty processing in PI since I only had an hour of data for each panel.
As a proof of concept I'm happy with the transition. I couldn't reliably get auto focus to work, but it did okay. Will need to play some more to find the right step size, once that is done I'll be fairly automated.
