As mentioned in the other new post I had fun with @Brian Boyle  's latest Data with the 40mm lens.


When using MosaicByCoordinates to properly position the tiles there are two issues:

Beeing able to get reproducible results and
Beeing able to get Files that can still convert to Tiff to be able to use Photoshop for Postprocessing (and perhaps also for Mosaic making)

So I played arround and what I found out is that MosaicByCoordinates also works on Starless Images and that there is an option that is not that obvious that makes it possible to get reproducible results without having to process all images of a panorama at once....

In Mosaic Geometry there is an Advanced Button which allows us to set the center point of the projection, I used Sagittarius A* as the center of the image....

With this setting one very important thing happens compared to set the image center in the Center Coordinates Fields, the created image does only have a minimum black border to make the transformed image rectangular, looking more or less the same as the immediate files that @James Tickner creates in his processes.

This makes the resulting images rougly the same size as their input, perfect for saving them as a Tiff.....

What now is also possible is to select several images (that for example cover a certain 3x3 region), calculate them in one go and then in a second step calculate a 3x3 neighboring region...

This still needs a little more testing but looks promising!
