Hello and welcome id like to ask everyone who uses seastar or really know that mosaic mode really exsist?  Does seastar really have  a mosaic mode?
I seen people are talking about some kind of mosaic mode that seastar have. Some says its can be found in sky atlas. But where? Where is it?
Does anyone  know where to found this feature or is it exsist or it doesn't?

I'm not a Seestar user, but nobody has answered you and I got curious and did a quick Google search.

Apparently it does have a mosaic mode in the latest update. It's in the Framing tab under Sky Atlas. Simply alter the magnification control to increase the size of the frame around the target then start imaging. A mosaic is produced same size as the frame. Not sure what the limit is on this, you'll need to experiment.

Hope this helps.

CS, Tony.

I don’t have a Seastar but a very easy and quick search brings tons of videos showing how to get to the mosaic mode and how to use it.

Here is an example of one of the videos

So wait, is the mosaic in the 2 0.0 version? Currently, I have had that update recently, and speaking of it, my seastar didn't ask me to update itself yet. Do I need to re-install the app for this? Cause I'm not seeing any news in the app? Sorry if I'm blind or anything. I'm just confused with its app.
