Edge Padding: (int) This number specifies how much extra space (arcseconds) will be added<br />
to the four edges of the final mosaicked image.<br />
Projection: This parameter specifies the projection type of the output mosaic. The TAN and<br />
SIN projections are implemented using the fast direct plane-to-plane coordinate<br />
transformation. The rest of the projections in the WCS library - LIN, AZP, STG, ARC, ZPN,<br />
ZEA, AIR, CYP, CAR, MER, CEA, COP, COD, COE, COO, BON, PCO, GLS, PAR, AIT,<br />
MOL, CSC, QSC, TSC, NCP, DSS, PLT, TNX - are implemented as a two step plane-skyplane<br />
projection. The default projection is TAN.<br />
Coordinate Sys te m: The coordinate system of the output mosaic. The choices are J2000<br />
(Equatorial), Galactic, or Ecliptic. The default is J2000.<br />
Use average input orientation: Defines the orientation of the output mosaic. Checking this<br />
box indicates that <strong>MOPEX</strong> should use the average of the input BCD orientations. This is the<br />
default setting. To specify an alternative orientation, see CROTA2.<br />
CROTA2: (float) Defines the orientation (degrees East of North) of the output mosaic.<br />
CROTA2 = 0 indicates North up and East left. To use the average of the input BCD<br />
orientations (the default), check the Use average input orientation box. On the command line,<br />
set CROTA2 = A to use the average input orientation.<br />

MARGIN: (int; command line only) Specifies a margin in terms of the number of pixels<br />
around the Fiducial Image Frame. Normally this is set to zero or a (small) positive number,<br />
except when using the Mosaic Geometry module, when it should normally be set to a<br />
