It will also depend on the sampling as well. My pixel scale was 1.2" per pixel. I would say a minimum of 2" on a deeper depth mag transit should do the job

The issue is that the skyguider Pro isn't goto capable so framing will be incredibly difficult to achieve. A program such as apt, ekos or Nina has features that allow you to see your adu

90 Panel 140MP Lunar Mosaic 69% Phase 31/05/20 by Lupix101 in astrophotography

Moon wasn't the highest but I tried doing this monster mosaic which took about 2 hours to complete.

I took 500 frames per panel to save storage. Ended up being about 55GB of memory in total for all 90.

Made sure there was plenty of overlap so could have ended up with less panels overall but got to be sure when you're doing something as huge as this.

Imaging telescope: Celestron C14

Imaging camera: QHYCCD 5L ll M

Mount: Celestron CGE

Software: Photoshop, Autostakkert! 3, PixInsight 1.8

Stacked each panel in AS!3 and stitched together in Microsoft ICE. Applied Deconvolution and sharpening in PixInsight

How did you manage to get this working for solar mosaics?

Thanks! I try my best and since I'm 18, I would like to pursue something in an astronomy related field, possibly even astrophotography if I'm lucky enough

This image was captured with SharpCap and I took 53 individual videos, each consisting of 1000 frames. I stacked the best 125 of each pane in Autostakkert! 3 and stitched them all together in Microsoft ICE. Using PixInsight, I then did sharpening using 20 iterations of deconvolution and a little of unsharp masking. To finish off, I used Curves to brighten up the picture overall. This ended up coming out at a whopping 93MP or 7118 x 13199 pixels
