Maxim DL and the sky both have Mosiacing features (I havent tried them), and of course automation software will do it, with plate solves.
But its no extra work or software really, even though the PME repeatability is good, I always tweak position at the start of a night (its very easy, I plate solve an exposure to calibrate the nudge feature in DL, and just click "point here", its always right 1st go, whilst looking at the previous nights pic with crosshairs).
I almost never change objects in a night, and individual panels would all take more than one night anyway (with multiple filters), so theres no difference in setup time or extra work at all for mosaics apart from more total exposure time. I would just tweak the position for the required panel once each night and go, exactly the same as I do now.
Yes, although I havent tried stitching software yet, I understand some of it is amazing and just does align/scale/rotate automatically in one go.
