I've started shooting my own mosaics. Having exif data sure is a luxury for working in PTgui.
It ain't Mars but I can see I'm going to have a whole lotta fun with this!

Here's a first result;

I love it Nico, now I can say I've been to Mars

If Victoria Crater is anywhere near as breathtaking as Meteor Crater was, we
are all going to be in for one hell of a treat.

Happy stitching.....

My first pan was meteor crater...I am looking for it. Here are some recent pans of mine (the rather square one is actualy a 9-framer), including a repeat without the gaps of my old "vertigo pan"

Here is one of my more ambitious mosaics that I did a couple of years ago. Using a meager Celestron C90 with an attached web cam, I took a series of videos of about 200 frames each, then aligned and stacked them using Registax. Because I was using a regular tripod rather than an equatorial mount, I then had to rotate each image to account for the rotation of the earth. I used the timestamp of the images to determine how much to rotate each image. I then hand assembled each image in Paint Shop Pro to get the final image. This image is a jpeg reduction of an original 12mb file.

Having done this once, I have a much better appreciation of all the hard work you guys have been doing in assembling the MER pans. I enjoy them immensely and I tip my hat off to you for all your efforts.



Edit: This mosaic was composed of eight images.
