+
+The Mosaic Camera plugin enables you to overlay an outline of a mosaic camera, i.e., one with multiple sensors on a grid.
+This may be useful for comparing various (mostly professional) cameras, such as the Rubin Observatory's Legacy Survey of Space and Time Camera (LSSTCam), Hyper Suprime-Cam (HSC) on the Subaru Telescope, or the Dark Energy Camera (DECam) on the Blanco Telescope.
+Those with appropriate credentials may even be able to use this plugin to follow these instruments' observations in real time.
+Even without such credentials, the plugin can be used for public outreach, demonstrating the capabilities of these instruments.
+With a little work, it can also be used to show the outlines of other cameras, including potentially your very own astrophotography setup.
