Mosaics
First, I'm up to the point where I'm now successfully combining datasets using WBPP, and troubleshooting and running processes individually when things go wrong, so I'm making progress. One of the datasets I have is raw data of a 2 frame mosaic of the Horsehead Nebula. No I'm not ready to deal with that yet, but it got me thinking about how to do Mosaics in PixInsight. I do it all the time to create panoramas taken with my DSLR using PhotoShop so I'm familiar with the concepts of overlap and alignment, but I'm wondering how it works in PixInsight. There is nothing about Mosaics in the Fundamentals Path, but I suspect that there may be something elsewhere in all of the Fundamentals Videos. Can somebody point me in the right direction? Specifically, I'm looking for information about:
1. If I were to create my own Mosaic from scratch, what is the minimum overlap that PixInsight wants?
2. I had an earlier question regarding integration of the same target on multiple nights where the field of view doesn't match exactly and Adam said that PixInsight simply integrates each pixel with whatever data is available for that part of the image. I'm wondering if it would treat a Mosaic the same way. In other words, so long as there is enough overlap that it can align the data sets, if it would happily create the Mosaic automatically but the overlapped sections would simply have more data combined than the non overlapped areas.
Like I said, no need to answer here other than to point me to the right place to find the appropriate videos.
Thank you.
