What does "Too many missing tiles" error while stitching images?

I get the following error when attempting to stitch a set of five images. One of the images seems to be the cause of the following error (error disappears when I disable the one image). But I don't understand what the error means. Any ideas?
Abort!! Too many missing tiles. Field is 11.7x1.3°. Coverage only 14.5%. For multiple mosaics is classify on "Light object" set?
Most likely one of your images is from a far away location.
Note that program looks to the RA, DEC position of each corner of the individual tiles, it can calculate the required canvas for the mosaic. If there is one which is from a far away location it will create a very large canvas to accommodate all tiles. but it will be mostly empthy
Have a look to the RA,DEC position of each tile and see if one is an outlier. The RA, DEC position is in one of the columns of the list .
It is always possible this is a bug. I you could share the five tiles and I will have a look. No problem.

Hi Han, thanks for the response.
My mistake, sorry. I had inadvertently picked up a wrong image! Checking the RA/DEC, as you succestury, confirmed that it was an outlier. I found the correct image and all good now thanks.
