Mosaic and Framing Planner

Are you an astrophotographer? Then the Mosaic and Framing Assistant is where the technical magic happens. Here we don't worry so much about whether the neighbor watered the plants, but about the physics of your equipment. This tool is vital if you want to plan a session based on the exact combination of your camera and telescope. Do you want to know how the Orion Nebula will be framed with your sensor? Do you need to make a 4-panel mosaic to cover the entire Andromeda Galaxy? This is where you calculate the field of view (FOV), camera rotation, and necessary panels. If your goal is the perfect photographic composition and getting the most out of your hardware, you have come to the right place.
