Mosaics - any guidance

[pmrid (Peter)]

I'm intrigued by objects like Simeis 147 - a huge supernova remnant that is far too large for even my hyperstar so it's time to learn a new skill - mosaics. Are there any resources out there - idiot's Guides to Mosaics sort of thing?

I use the free camera software canon autostitch with good results on DSO's & the moon. I have mentioned this before in the forums , it's simple to use after adjusting the focal length settings (these bear no relation to the real focal length) & scanning settings . These are easy to experiment with as the actual combination of pictures into the mosaic takes a few seconds. It's ridiculously simple to use and any artifacts can be removed in Photoshop . If you want to see some examples I can email you them.

Hi Peter, This article was posted by Marc, (Multiweb) some time back and it is very helpful.

If you don't mind the money, AutoPano Pro.

autostitch is based on the same algorithms, but lacks some of the sophistication.

If Eric doesn't mind I can make available the AutoPano version of his Weribee Gorge mosiac. The 2777x1508 16-bit PNG version is 23MB. The full size is 340MB. A reasonable quality JPG is 2.3MB.

That sounds interesting but that link didn't work for me.

Is there a way to get a copy of it?

Would you mind emailing it to me?

Greg.
