Fig. 12-x : Mosaic Observing:
Either with a carefully prepared plan, or using trial and error
for targets of opportunity, one can generate different mosaic
geometries, plot an overlay of the tile pattern over an A&G camera
acquisition frame, and finally arrive at an optimal configuration for
subsequent use. Centering the mosaic on the target works identical as the
normal single pointing procedure.
Note: saving/restoring the corresponding guide star coordinates allows
one to repeat or finish incomplete mosaic observations
from a previous observing night.
