Re: How to stich Mosaics

I am also planning to do a mosaic of some larger objects. What I am unsure of is how (dis)similar the separate stacked images are before stitching. I have visions of the final image looking like a patchwork quit. HK suggest a light processing, do all the images need the same identical processing bef...

Don't know what camera you have but what about a mono camera and filter wheel to take RGB images. Could be a whole new adventure for you!

Re: yet another noob :)

Who said it was easy? Don't give up, I'm still learning as well (after nearly 3 yrs). There are some brilliant guides in the User Notes forum section written by a guy called Guy.

Re: Trouble Processing M33 Data

Che, That's a good image you pulled out. I notice the work flow log is not as described in ST tutorials. I've been using ST for a while and I get along with it OK. I just muddle my way through the various modules. I've spent hours trying this and that and then start over again. Is there a logic to y...
