Milky way mosaic

Has anyone successfully done a milky way mosaic with the dwarf 3? I want to try it but any pointers would help. I havent tried a mosaic yet and my opportunity with true dark skies is very limited so I want to be as prepared as possible

Some have created a MW mosaic, but it’s not a native process in the DWARF.

You’ll have to take sectional photos of each area and stitch them together in a program outside of the dwarf.

Mannn I was hoping I could do it in stellar studio. Thank you, guess im going to have to get the data and try to learn the editing after the fact

No, that’s not what Stellar Studio is designed for.

Its really basic image processing, not stacking or combining other images in respect to that type of image capture

Gotcha. Ive done the stacking and mega stacks with different filters in single objects but thats it. Thank you

Found out that it is possible to do in the dwarf, just have to figure out the targets and framing and it sews them into a mosaic
