Doing It Right
Asimoplan image by David Lloyd-Jones, Australia
Do you make mosaics? Have you had this experience? If so a new product almost ready may be of interest. David has had trouble planning and implementing his own mosaics of deep sky objects and the Moon so he has written software - Asimoplan - that makes it easier. Asimoplan works with Virtual Moon Atlas to superpose rectangles of your camera's field of view on a displayed image of the Moon's current phase. This way you plan exactly where the boundaries are to make sure that all of the target is covered with a defined overlap. Asimoplan provides the center coordinates for each needed mosaic frame that you then use with your telescope's mount to position the camera for the requisite frames. David would be pleased to get comments from mosaic makers - both successful and frustrated - to better respond to their needs. Space agencies could even benefit from Asimoplan!
