This article introduces various shooting modes of DWARF 3 and complements the previous article DWARF 3 User Manual Part 1.

3. Tutorial for Different Modes

3.1 Photo Mode

3.1.1 Wide-Angle Photography

3.1.2 Telephoto Photography

3.1.3 Object Tracking

Activate 'Function-Object Tracking' and track the target by tapping on it or dragging a box over it.

For wide angle tracking:

Switch to the wide-angle view, enable tracking, tap to select your target, and start observing. You can switch shooting modes anytime to capture photos or videos in your preferred style!

Note: Object Track, where you tap and select to track a moving object, is different from Sun/Moon Tracking, which will set DWARF 3 to track the trails of the Sun/Moon (moving very slowly to the extent you don't even notice).

3.1.4 Sun Tracking & Shooting

Select Function > Parameter, then de-select AUTO-Parameter to change the individual settings. From there, all you need to do is experiment with your Shutter, Gain and select your Sub count located at the bottom of the parameter options.

 

Notes:

• It is suggested for your first time capture, change your number of images to 20 or 30 for your first session. You do have the option to select a max of 999, but that will take a long time and you run the risk of exposing your device to intense heat over a long duration.
• In tracking mode, the sun remains centered, allowing continuous observation or shooting videos/time-lapses/stacked photos after changing shooting mode to Photo/Video/Time-lapse/Astro.
• During auto-focus, the camera auto-adjusts parameters, if you may know, typically at 1/250s-1/200s Exposure, Gain at 0, and VIS filter. Do adjust Hue and White Balance as preferred.
• Please note, due to the absence of calibration in this process, it is very important to keep the lens cylinder face to the front side (DWARFLAB Logo) while tracking the sun and moon.
• Please monitor the internal temperature reading while imaging the Sun. The recommended operating temperature range for the sensor is below 60°C (140°F). Charging is automatically disabled when the battery temperature exceeds 45°C (113°F) to prevent further heat buildup. If the internal temperature reaches 60°C (140°F), the Dwarf 3 will automatically shut down to protect the system and its sensors.

3.1.5 Moon Tracking & Shooting

Feel free to switch to Astronomy Mode — it also works well for stacking the Moon.

• Please note, due to the absence of calibration in this process, it is very important to keep the lens cylinder face to the front side (DWARFLAB MARK) while tracking the sun and moon.

• Images captured in “Photo Mode” may appear dull or lower quality. This is due to the individual JPEG file being captured as a compressed file. Adjusting the Sharpness in Function-Parameter may help.

• For a high quality image, you can complete an Astro Stack, which will be uncompressed and have substantially better visual definition.

3.2 Video Mode

Note: When you switch the app to the background or disconnect, the shooting process will still continue.

3.3 Burst Mode

Notes:

• The change of interval settings during a shooting session will take effect to make sure you get a better record of a whole imaging process saying totality.
• When you switch the App to the background or disconnect, the shooting process will still continue.

3.4 Time lapse Mode

Recommended settings for different scenarios:

• Clouds: 2-5 second intervals for capturing dynamic cloud movements, aiming for a 20-30 minute duration.
• City Traffic: 1-3 second intervals to capture the hustle of city life, ideally for about an hour during peak times.
• Blooming Flowers: Longer intervals, like 1 minute, for slower processes such as flowers blooming, extending over several hours or days.

3.5 Panorama Mode

3.5.1 Locating the Target

Note: This telephoto view will serve as the center of the final entire panorama.

3.5.2 Selecting the Shooting Range

Note: The size of a green frame is taken as one unit. We will add a range preview in future updates. For now, the best is to estimate visually.

3.5.3 Adjusting the Parameter

3.5.4 Shooting the Panorama

Notes for Panorama photography:

• During the panoramic shooting, after clicking the shoot button, DWARF 3 will perform a initialization(about 5-6s), then rotate to the first photo in the top left corner of the entire panorama, shooting from left to right, row by row.
• After clicking the shoot button, there is an approximate 3s waiting time for you, in case you want to attach any filters.
• After shooting is complete, the telephoto view indicator (green box) will return to the center of the panorama,as saying, the initial position.
• In 'Album', the panorama will be displayed as the first shot thumbnail and cannot be downloaded. This means you cannot preview the full panorama on your phone.

3.5.5 Pano Weave

After capturing a panorama, go to Album > Pano Weave to stitch, edit and download your panoramic image!

Select your panorama, tap Upload, and wait for the stitching to complete. Once it’s done, you’ll get a link to view the result online.

• Don’t rush off just yet! Tap into your panorama and use Curve Adjustment to fine-tune the colors.

  Your changes will be applied in real time — no need to hit save!

  Please note:

  • Reset does not revert to the entire image — it only resets the last edited channel to its default value.

    • To reset the entire image to its original state, tap Revert.

      After editing, tap the button on the right to download the stitched panorama to your phone.

3.6 Auto Capture Mode (Bird & UFO)

3.6.1 Bird Capture

3.6.1.1 Locate the Target

3.6.1.2 Click and Record

Notes:

• When internal storage is less than 1GB, recording will automatically stop and save.
• When the battery is below 5%, shooting will automatically stop and save.
• To achieve the best detection results, you cannot switch shooting modes or manually select tracking objects during the target detection phase. However, you can use the joystick to control the device’s movement or manually focus.
• To achieve the best tracking results, you cannot perform operations such as moving the device, focusing, or zooming during automatic tracking and recording.

3.6.2 UFO Mode

3.6.2.1 UFO Capture

3.6.2.2 Fixed Spot & Auto Scan

3.7 Astro Mode

3.7.1 Taking Astro Darks

Note: Remember, shooting Astro Dark helps prepare for Astrophotography Adventure and ensures better quality images.

To more accurately reduce noise, the DWARF 3 supports taking personalized dark frames. You can choose to capture dark frames using either wide-angle or telephoto lenses for different use.

• When you first get your Dwarf 3, there may be multiple factory default dark frames captured under the same exposure parameters but at different sensor temperatures. The temperature difference will only be stated in the dark capture page index (shown on the left in the image above) though. It is currently not visible in the parameter selection area on the right. *This may change in a future update to display it.

  During stacking, the system will automatically apply the dark frame(s) with the closest temperature to your capture.

  For every 1 degree Celsius increase in temperature while shooting, a new dark frame will be generated. When stacking images, the dark frame with the closest temperature will be automatically selected and applied, so there's no need for manual selection.

  If you’d like to view or manage these dark frames, long press the relative darks in the dark taking page.

  Or connect your DWARF 3 to a computer via USB-A or C cable and navigate to:

  📂 Astronomy > Astro Darks (more information can be found in "How to View and Edit Files in DWARF 3")

  

• Notes：

  1. For optimal results, the dark frame's exposure/shutter, gain, binning and shooting temperature should match your actual shooting parameters. If the temperature difference exceeds 8°C, we will prompt you to recapture the dark frame.
  2. The temperature indicated in the user interface at the top reflects the temperature of your internal sensor. It's not reading the ambient or local temperature of your location. It is recommended you let your DWARF 3 become aclimated to the weather at your preferred location first by letting it sit outside for approximately 10-20 mins, so it can either cool down, or heat up. You will note the temperature may rise or fall, based on how hot or cold it is. It is normal to see a much higher, or relatively low reading, compared to your outside temperature.
  3. You can store up to 100 dark frames in total. For the same shooting parameters, multiple darks with different temperatures can be saved, so your storage may fill up quickly.
  4. To manage your dark frames, long-press any dark entry to delete or organize them.（only stacked darks in Cali_Frame, which is used when stacking photos will be deleted, single frames in Astronomy-Darks will still be there）

How to take dark frames

Note: You can find the parameter sets associated with the dark frames you’ve captured under 'Astro Mode - Function - Parameter - Preset'. Simply click on your preferred parameter set to quickly apply the corresponding settings. Dark frames captured for wide-angle and long-focus lenses will be visible under their respective menus.

3.7.2 EQ Mode

Once you’ve completed polar alignment, an EQ icon will appear on the screen.

*The EQ status (indicating whether polar alignment is complete) is updated each time you perform calibration or recalculate it in the EQ Settings.

Notes: 

• DWARF 3 does not require you to completely "see" Polaris (Northern Hemisphere) or Sigma Octantis (Southern Hemisphere) for EQ (polar alignment), only a rough alingment toward them
• Ensure you have no obstructions in your location where it would interfere with the DWARF 3 from performing a series of calibration movements to determine if the device is set at the correct angle and direction. It must see above you to complete its function.
• Please note the above steps are primarily written for DWARF users in the Northern Hemisphere. For Southern Hemisphere users, please reference this self-made guide created by one of our community members, How to Set up DWARF 3 for EQ mode in the South Hemisphere-DWARFLAB helpcenter.

3.7.3 One Tap GoTo

You can also compose your shot using the preview frame without selecting a specific target. For detailed information on the sky atlas, see Section 1.2 of the user manual. The features there are impressive.

3.7.4 Configuring Shooting Settings

Select the appropriate filter. For filter details, refer to Section 2.13.1 Parameter Settings in DWARF 3 App Introduction tutorial.

 

After setting the shutter time and count of frames, you’ll see an estimated completion time at the bottom of the screen.

The calculation is: shutter × count.

If you’ve adjusted the preview frame size in the Atlas (mosaic) view, you’ll also need to multiply (shutter × count) by the (number of views). For detailed information, please refer to Section 3.7.9: Astro Mosaic in this guide.

Notes:

• In Astro Mode, after each autofocus or calibration, or when you tap 'end current session' after a shooting, or you have performed the angle deviation calculation in EQ mode, the parameters will automatically change to Expo 0.5s (auto focus and infinity will just to 1s), Gain 120, Astro Filter (for firmware above 1.2.6) to obtain a proper brightness for DWARF’s star calculation. Therefore, once locating a celestial object, you will need to manually adjust the parameters.
• The maximum shutter time for telephoto is 120s and wide-angle is 90 seconds.
• Clicking on preset allows you to quickly apply recommended parameter sets. For more details, refer to Section 2.13.1 Parameter Settings and Section 3.7.1 Taking Astro Darks.

• Format: A TIFF file is a type of raster image format (or bitmap format) that typically uses lossless compression to store images. This format is popular among photographers and graphic designers because it can store high-quality images while preserving detail and colour. A FITS file is the most commonly used digital file format in astronomy. The FITS standard was designed specifically for astronomical data, and includes provisions such as describing photometric and spatial calibration information, together with image origin metadata.
• Please note: Even if you select TIFF as the format, the final stacked image will be in FITS format, while the individual frames will be saved as TIFF.
• Preview: The single-frame preview shows the image currently being captured, while the stacked image displays the combined stacked result.You can switch between preview modes at any time during shooting. The single-frame preview allows you to check whether the tracking is working properly.
• Tele Binning: Binning is a technique that can improve the light sensitivity of machine vision cameras. Several neighboring pixels are combined to form a larger pixel. This leads to a reduction in image resolution, but also to an increase in light sensitivity
• Mandatory Calibration: this makes your astrophotography process safer and more accurate, ensuring every GoTo goes to the correct location. However, calibration can take time. If you’re confident, you can disable this option, and the manual calibration feature will appear on the screen when needed. 

• 
  Update Auto Focus（♾️）Position: Astro autofocus (♾️) is now manually adjustable. If AF fails, manually focus on the target to the finest clarity you can achieve and click update here. Later auto focus should also be fine once adjusted! To complete this process, go to Focus, manually focus your telephoto lens on the star field or a known object at distance. Go back and select Function > Settings > scroll down to Update Auto Focus Position, then press Update. Your 3 digit number should change to the manual setting you adjusted to previously while in "Focus".

3.7.5 Shooting & Waiting for Completion

After shooting, it may take a short while for initializing and loading.

3.7.5.1 Curves Function

During shooting, you can adjust Curve to enhance the colors of the RGB channels and overall brightness of deep space celestial objects. Click the 'Reset' button to return to previous channels.

Note: Pulling down the left side of the line will darken the background of the image while raising the right side will brighten the nebulae and galaxies. For more information on stretching (rearranging pixels to get different image results), we suggest browsing the internet. But don't worry, sometimes it's just a matter of intuition!

3.7.5.2 Save Curve Adjustment

After adjusting, don't forget to click Save to save your results. We directly save this photo to your phone or tablet’s photo album, not in the DWARF 3 App, for easy sharing.

*You can also save your still-on-the-go picture during your imaging session. Just adjust the curves, and tap SAVE, it will save the newest stacked image to your phone or tablet’s photo album.

During shooting, you can adjust Curve to enhance the colors of the RGB channels and overall brightness of deep space celestial objects. Click the 'Reset' button to return to previous channels.

3.7.6 Manual Astrophotography

We recommend using the manual shooting mode in the following situations:

• The automatic shooting process fails.
• You want to keep the focus fixed. Manual mode will not perform auto-focusing, allowing the telescope's focus to remain in the same position unless you manually change it.

3.7.6.1 Focusing on the Stars

3.7.6.2 Implementing Calibration

3.7.6.3 Start GoTo

Notes for Astrophotography:

• Ensure DWARF 3's viewing area is unobstructed, with visible stars (no clouds or buildings blocking stars), as these factors may cause Calibration and GoTo failures.
• Avoid using a filter and adaptor during calibration, as it may cause failure.
• If acquiring location information fails during calibration, try several more times and check if location permissions are allowed.
• Pay attention to rotation axis limits during GoTo. Hitting the limit will prevent GoTo from reaching the target. Rotate the DWARF 3 base by a certain angle and recalibrate/GoTo.
• If the stacked number does not increase when capturing long expo photos:

  1. Check if the preview background is too bright at the current gain, try lowering the gain and reshooting.
  2. At Expo 1s, Gain 120, check if stars are in focus and minimized. Refocus if needed before reshooting.
  3. If the above are correct but stacking still fails, ensure the environment is stable - solid tripod, no/low wind, etc. Then reshoot.

3.7.6.4 Stellar Studio

After completing your capture, you can post-process your deep-sky images from App Homepage > Album > Stellar Studio to achieve higher-quality imaging results. Stellar Studio is designed specifically for deep-sky objects (Tele & Wide). It will not work on Sun or Moon sessions.

Stellar Studio requires uploading your stacked image files from the DWARF telescope to the server. Your phone must be connected to the internet or in STA mode connection to use this feature.

1. Processing Features

Click options to start the processing

• Auto: Automatically corrects star shapes, reduces noise, and enhances background uniformity.

• Star Correction: Adjusts only the shape of stars.

• Noise Reduction: Performs only noise reduction on the image.

• Star Removal: Only removes all stars from the image, leaving a pure nebula view.

 

• Watermark：The Watermark feature lets you add shooting/session info, your signature, or a fun caption to your astro photos. This feature currently applies to your JPG version only and is saved directly to your phone or tablet photo album folder.

  You can even choose from different styles (currently two available - more options will be added in the future).

  Go explore and make your images your own!

  

2. Viewing Results

Processed results can be viewed in the Task list.

Note: You can apply multiple processing features to the same image, generating separate result images under the same title in the task list.

Similarly, you can process an already processed image for multiple times, but new results will overwrite previous ones, and the task name will reflect the latest processing step.

3. Downloading & Saving:

Clicking download will save a JPG or a 16 bit PNG (stretched) to your phone’s system album (for viewing & sharing).

 

1. Sometimes the file size of PNG images may not be detected correctly — it’s usually around a few tens of megabytes.
2. You may also notice that PNG and JPG images look different. This is because JPGs typically have brightness and contrast enhancements (an S-curve tone mapping) already applied, whereas PNGs often retain the original linear brightness data without such adjustments. As a result, PNGs may look flatter, giving you more flexibility to process them manually.
3. We recommend sharing images directly, and for post-processing, using PNG is better as it preserves more detail in highlights and shadows.

A RAW file (FITS format) will be stored in the cloud server for further processing.

How to Access Cloud Files:

Paste the link into a browser on your phone or computer to download the file for further use.

 

Note:

*Post-processed images will not be saved on your DWARF telescope.

 

*You may notice that the processed photo appears cropped compared to the version in the App’s album. This is because the current processing removes field rotation artifacts from the image by cropping them. We recommend using EQ mode for shooting to minimize the impact of field rotation. We are working on improving this processing method now, so later you won't lose the edges of the image.

 

*If a file is manually moved out of the DWARF device (for example, copied or cut to an external drive or PC), it will be recognized as an unknown file when moved back to the device — and as such, cannot be post-processed in Stellar Studio.

 

However, you may still be able to re-stack the original subframes in Mega Stack, which will generate a new valid file that Stellar Studio can recognize and process. See the next section for details on how to re-stack and restore your processing workflow.

 

**Please note: this method is not yet supported for mosaic images. Once an astronomical mosaic image is moved out of the DWARF 3, it cannot be reprocessed with Stellar Studio.

3.7.6.5 Mega Stack

Mega Stack is a powerful new feature that allows you to stack images captured over multiple sessions, breaking the limit of single-session stacking. By combining data from different nights, you can reveal incredible details in deep-sky targets that were previously hidden. This is especially useful for faint nebulae and galaxies — the more you stack, the more you see!

Click on Mega Stack to select and stack images of the same target taken with the same filter.

 

Before stacking, you can tap View Single Frames to review individual images and delete any unsuitable ones before proceeding.

 

In the screenshot below, the image marked with an exclamation mark indicates that this frame was rejected during stacking, likely due to clouds, glare, or poor tracking.

3.7.7 Wide-Angle Astrophotography

How to capture the Milky Way

2. Prepare dark frames: Before starting the capture, click 'Function' - 'Parameter', switch to 'Wide-Angle', and check the dark frame parameter sets to ensure you have the corresponding dark frames. If not, please capture one. See Section 3.7.1 Taking Astro Darks in this tutorial for more details on taking them.

Note: Wide-angle only supports 2K resolution photography.

3.7.8 Schedule Shooting

3.7.8.1 Create a Shooting Plan Directly

Notes:

• Due to various dynamic factors, the number of frames cannot be set manually. The system will automatically capture the maximum possible frames within the scheduled time.
• The maximum exposure time for Schedule Captures is 60 seconds.
• In schedule shooting it automatically set appropriate filters for some common targets, with other targets defaulting to astro filters.

• Plans can only be synchronized for the same night.
• Synchronization is allowed up to 12 hours in advance and no later than 5 minutes before the plan starts.

• Sufficient Power: verify the DWARF device is fully charged.
• Correct Placement: Position the DWARF in the appropriate location.
• Disconnect and Leave: After all preparations are complete, disconnect your device and step away. DWARF will automatically enter sleep mode and wake up at the scheduled start time.
• Do Not Power Off: Ensure you do not hit the power off button.

Notes:

• When DWARF is in Sleep Mode it looks almost identical to being powered off — no lights, no signals. However - the cylinder (lens) will NOT rotate closed and stay in its open position for it to better process its position and start the scheduled session when the start time begins.
• When your scheduled shooting session has been completed, the cylinder will rotate close to a secure position to protect it. This is also helpful incase your session goes into the daylight hours. As some will notice, it does not completely close (maybe 95%, but this is normal and should not worry the operator)
• Regarding EQ Mode: You can use EQ mode in Schedule Shooting to align the DWARF with the polar axis in advance. Also, you may turn off the ring light for better results.
• Regarding Dark Frames: Check the dark frame files before shooting to ensure there are corresponding frames available for stacking. If not, you can capture them now.
• Do Not Power Off: DWARF will enter sleep mode after 15 minutes of inactivity when disconnected to save power. In sleep mode, all indicator lights remain off. The device appears completely powered off, but it is in a extremely low-power standby state. But it is not completely powered off and will automatically wake up before the scheduled time. Do not press the power button, as DWARF will then forget the shooting plan and will not wake up at the scheduled time.
• Sleep mode and the scheduled shooting function are completely independent. Sleep mode is a power-saving feature that automatically activates 15 minutes after the device is idle and not connected to external power. This behavior applies under all conditions.
• If your DWARF is connected to external power and you have set up a scheduled session but notice that the device does not enter sleep mode, there’s no need to worry — the scheduled shooting will still start normally. Even if the device enters sleep mode later (for example, if charging stops during the waiting period), the scheduled session will still begin as expected.

• Unexpected Issues:
• If you accidentally power off the device after synchronizing the plan, please power it back on, cancel the synchronization, and re-sync the plan. Then, let the DWARF enter sleep mode naturally.

• DWARF in sleep mode cannot be woken up. If you need to use it in other sessions, manually turn it on and perform the desirable operations. Restarting will refresh DWARF’s schedule memory, so don’t forget to re-sync your shooting plan for the day.
• DWARF will not enter sleep mode while charging. It will only enter sleep mode to save power once the charging stops.

3.7.8.2 Create Plan from Atlas

3.7.8.3 Schedule A Mosaic！

If you’d like to schedule an Astro Mosaic shoot, you’ll first need to select your target and adjust the preview frame to your desired composition. Then, swipe up the bottom menu and choose “Add to Schedule.”

 

**Mosaic imaging requires higher precision, so make sure your equatorial alignment is properly set (roughly aligned if planning during daytime). For a step-by-step guide, be sure to read “Learn More” in the app.

 

 

With the Schedule Shooting feature, capturing stunning deep-sky objects has never been easier. Whether you’re planning a night-long astrophotography marathon or simply want to automate your stargazing experience, DWARF 3 ensures precision and convenience!

3.7.9 Astro Mosaic

DWARF 3’s astronomical mosaic feature allows you to capture and stitch together multiple adjacent fields of view, creating a wider and more detailed image of the night sky. It’s perfect for photographing large deep-sky objects such as the Orion Nebula and North America Nebula.

1. Mosaic Field-of-View:

The DWARF 3 supports a maximum 1.8x1.8 zoom perspective. When shooting, DWARF 3 will automatically determine how many segments to shoot based on your selected composition ratio:

 

• The default view is 1 × 1, meaning only one segment is captured (no mosaic needed).
• If either the horizontal or vertical composition ratio is greater than 1, that direction will use 2 segments.
• For example, a ratio of 1 × 1.5 results in 2 views, while 1.5 × 1.5 results in 4 views.
• Maximum supported layout: 1.8 × 1.8, totaling 4 views.

2. How long does it take to shoot the mosaic?

The estimated shooting time is automatically calculated based on your selected composition size, exposure time, and number of frames.

📌 So for a full 1.8 × 1.8 mosaic (4 views), with 15s expo and 50 frames setting for each view, the estimated time is:

15s × 50 frames × 4 views = 50 minutes

You can also customize the exposure and frame count, and the system will recalculate the estimated duration in real time.

 

Tips: If you haven't adjusted the parameters, the system will use the default settings:

• 15-second exposure per frame
• 50 frames

If you haven't adjusted the frame as well, the system will use the default settings:（15s X 999 ≈ 4h9min）

 

3. How to use the mosaic function?

1️⃣ Enable Equatorial (EQ) Mode

Astronomical mosaics require stable tracking. To avoid image rotation caused by Earth’s rotation, EQ mode must be enabled for this function.

Tip: After EQ calibration, the preview frame will display real-time pointing direction. (Detail explanation later)

2️⃣ Compose in Sky Atlas & Select Target

• Choose your target in the Sky Atlas and adjust the preview frame.
• Tap GoTo to locate the target.

 

Tips:

✅ Recommended: Orion Nebula, North America Nebula, Vega’s surrounding star fields

❌ Not Applicable: Moon, planets, comets — small or fast-moving objects

3️⃣ Set Shooting Parameters

After GoTo is complete, go to:

Shooting Interface → Function → Parameter

Here you can customize:

• Exposure time
• Gain
• Number of frames

You’ll also see the estimated total shooting time on this screen.

 

4️⃣ Auto Stitching & Post-Processing

After shooting, DWARF will automatically generate a roughly preview mosaic image.

We strongly recommend finish your mosaic image using Stellar Studio, which can intelligently detect and eliminate edge seams between Mosaic Views.

Go to: Album → Stellar Studio to post-process and optimize the final result！

 

If you notice obvious light seams or edge discoloration, it’s recommended to manually review and filter the bad sub-frames, then restack in Mega Stack before final processing in Stellar Studio.

4. Notes for Mosaic Rotation

If your DWARF 3 is placed flat on the ground (in Alt-Az mode), the preview frame will always be in a horizontal position.

After setting up the equatorial mode, the actual astronomical image will also be tilted.

The rotation angle cannot be manually adjusted; after all, DWARF 3 cannot yet assume a tilted position like a robot. However, it can calculate the angle through calibration (angle calculation in equatorial mode or calibration in GoTo).

Therefore, the astro mosaic workflow is now: Set the EQ mode (optional) - access the Atlas to compose using the preview frame (adjusting position and size) - capture the image-process in Stellar Studio

The wide-angle camera may allow mosaic photos in future updates.

 

Astro Mosaic Note

When planning a mosaic, image quality becomes especially important because the final result relies on seamless stitching between view tiles. To ensure the best outcome:

• Make sure your EQ alignment is as precise as possible before capturing.
• If you notice visible seams or artifacts in the final mosaic, consider recapturing dark frames or filtering out lower-quality subframes.
• Then, use Mega Stack to reprocess the stacked tiles and finally re-stitch them in Stellar Studio.

A bit of extra care during capture and processing can make a big difference in the final mosaic quality!
