Method

The program uses the first input datafile to define the output datafile in terms of its pixel size and orientation to North. The datafiles to be mosaiced with this one are given offsets from the first one in pixels, either by user input or calculation using astrometry data in the datafiles. The images are then overlayed to produce a (generally larger) output image. Where the input images overlap and two or more input pixels are used to make up one output pixel, the output is averaged by default. To just add up pixel contributions without averaging, specify 'AVERAGE=N' on the command line.
