Parameters related to the mosaic step

The OBS1_SearchMode parameter concerns only images at a Science Window level. In the mosaic image the software always looks for K=OBS1_ToSearch sources (more significant than OBS1_MinCatSouSnr for catalog sources, or OBS1_MinNewSouSnr for the new sources), regardless the real number of sources in the field of view. Thus, if you are working with a crowded part of the sky (mainly Galactic plane and Centre) you should use a high OBS1_ToSearch number (at least 50).

There are two ways to calculate the source flux in the mosaic given the original Science Window information:

It is possible to decide whether you want the mosaic to be created along with the Science Window image reconstruction, or if you prefer it to be created later on. The mosaic production is controlled by the OBS1_DoPart2 parameter:
