The tutorial on Preparing a Mosaic in PixInsight has now been updated to include a new section. This new section goes through an alternative method to prepare one's individual mosaic segment images, using a generated fake stars image. The image is generated by the CatalogStarGenerator script and is aided by the ImageSolver and AnnotateImage scripts, which are also covered as a result.
This alternative method is recommended by Juan Conejero of the PixInsight team to reduce the number of registration processes carried out on the individual mosaic segment images, thus producing a more accurate end result. It is, of course, up to the reader to decide which method to follow, but at least it is worth knowing what can be done. Head over to the tutorial via this link to read the new section.
The section on merging the registered mosaic segment images with GradientMergeMosaic has been moved to section 4, with the new section inserted as section 3. This preserves the flow of the text as originally intended.
