Title: Astro gigapan at Milford Sound
Post by: robdickinson on April 19, 2015, 09:25:31 pm
Barely 66 frames crippled my PC putting this together, not the easiest of stitches taken mid winter last year.

That needs to be entered into the 2015 Epson Pano competition for sure.

It might. I'll probably be entering some this year, didnt last year, came 17th the year before.

Not sure how astro compliant the judges are this time.  I know a few of the Amateur category judges but will probably enter the pro comp.

I have 24 and know what you mean and I don't do these kinds of pans. A big +30 on all the other comments.
