Notes
These images are multi-shot panoramas, typically 120° wide and 38° vertical
They were assembled from 6−10 rectilinear images, shot in portrait-format and aligned using a nodal rail, detent rotator and monopod. The individual shots were then “stitched” to create partial-panoramas @ 110 MPixel in size.
