Mosaic Master: Time to Get Your Images Stitched Together

Time we streamlined our mosaic processing a bit. Along with being able to save your entire project in SAS you can now create mosaics. Introducing my Mosaic Master. It follows some steps all automated: normalizing your tiles, performing astrometric solutions, using the RA and Dec for rough alignment, stellar alignment to refine that placement, and de normalizing the entire image. Now you can set it and forget it making your Mosaic.

    Thanks, Frank for this well-thought-out approach to doing mosaics. I do mosaics fairly often but I process them in Astro Pixel Processor. It gives better results for mosaics with zero effort as compared to PI, in my opinion. However, I really like how mosaics turned out in your video. I use quite a few of your processes instead of PI so this is a welcome addition to SAS.

    Incredible work, Frank! It's funny that Siril has been teasing their mosaic stitching for months and here you come out with an easy solution. I'm thinking about how I can use this feature for Seestar and Dwarf mosaics. They're not your normal stitching job. I have a way to do it in PI but it's cumbersome and also a way to do it in Sirl but it won't be possible until the next version is released. Fun stuff. Kudos and keep it up!

    ...i am just trying this workflow. I am in sharpen/Denoise but when i click fit to preview it goes 1:1. Also when trying to use 'curves' the graph on the left does not work no matter where i click (i realise i may be doing something wrong). The screen (lower left) says, 'no file selected' even though the image i have just 'starlessed' is the only one on screen and in slot 0. The 'Curves Utility' window just does not interact no matter where i click on the graph nor whichever option (K, R,G,B etc) i select. I am just trying to give some feedback and maybe get some help too. 8)
