Robotarget and Mosaics

In 2022 there was a thread on this topic, and it looks as if mosaics run through the R&S module and not through Robotarget. Is that still the case, or has that changed in the meantime?

I’m looking into running a 9 panel mosaic, and got through the virtual FoV > Roboclip > R&S part. So far so good. But my target will not appear until about 02:00h. So the first few hours I would like to image other targets. What is the best way to do that?

I can copy/paste all nine RA/DEC coordinates as individual targets in target manager, but that is a lot of work with high chance of making mistakes.
Is there a smarter way of doing this?

create a set in the robotarget manager and name it XXXX-MOSAIC, copy a target from one of your usual, change name like “XXXX-MOSAIC-Panel1” , copy and paste for 9 times. open a notepad with the list of RA and dec in another windows, select one at time the target and paste the RA and DEC and save. 2 minutes and you have finished

Thanks Leo. So the copy/paste route it is.
