Good work . congrats. It looks like there is no stitching errors , that is good for beeing such a Huge pano. Autopan or PTGui ? NN5 ? What rotator ? 400mm with 1.4 extender should mean really small degree for every shot .... I thought it was impossible .

I used a NN5 with RD8 rotator. I had to shoot like every 1/2 degree. I used Autopano Giga to stitch.

Thanks for the deatails. With R8 the smallest detent is 3 degrees. Did you stop " by the eye" ? With 1Dmark 3 and 400x1,4=560 mm FOV is something around 2,76 degrees Long side and 1,73 degrees short side . It sounds for me like - if shooting in portrait would make around something like 120 shots horisontally by 12 vertically . Around 1440 images more or less ? That would make 1, 3 degrees instead of 1/ degee portrait . Very good work anyway . With such a large images it is quite normal to see a LOT exposure and stitching errors. Thanks for sharing .
