The Ha are running at 103fps - 1000 frames * 12 so it's not as though the gathering is 'slow' - Apollo M Max. Cak is around 65fps - 1000 frames *16, somewhat 'slower' - Apollo M Mini - Stitch couldn't add the top, (MS or Affinity Photo 2) and there was nothing for the bottom. Note the frame mismatch...

Cheers Robin, the results of my Mosaics are in the Gallery.

Will be available to help testing, when required and when the weather behaves....

@Robin - 16 pane Mosaic salvaged (different mount to the above)

12 frames obtained using Solar Mosaic Tool ( Thanks Robin ). Autoalign used - sadly it slipped a mite at the bottom! Large files on Astrobin for your delectation - both coloured versions - Normal view and Inverted. https://astrob.in/obaem5/0/rawthumb/gallery/get.jpg?insecure https://astrob.in/otbrc3...

Second mount, not as bad but it's mainly the bottom that's suffered. It's a learning curve - next time I'll make up extra pole sections separately. ;) Looks like the Ha rim worked, though tantilisingly close at the bottom - but that was using the manual setup because the auto didn't like the dark be...

Just processed my CaK mosaics from this morning 20th May. Autoalign used and it correctly identified all parts of the disc and produced 12 rectangles with 300 overshoot. On processing I've discovered the top part of the disc is available, but no bottom. Two sets of data run through stitch programs (...

Indeed, that was the culprit!

Better this morning with WL (ZWO) and Ha (Lakeside) with successful focusing - both edge and fourier.

CaK (Pegasus DMFC) not overly sure with fourier - processing will confirm.

Mosaics being carried out, cloud willing!

Cheers Robin..

Thanks.

Missed out on the following day, the weather forecast wasn't correct!

For what this package of tricks gives, way way under-priced when one considers the costs of mounts/telescopes/cameras etc...
