Photographic notes:
Stitched at 50% resolution.
This gigapan has problems:
The memory card filled up about 90% of the way through shooting, and when I set up for the final 10%, the camera's zoom had changed.
The memory card that I used for the first 90% must have been slow, because occasionally it would fail to write the image file, so some pictures in the grid got dropped. I wrote a Python program that looked at the time between pictures to help me locate the gaps, and filled them with a blocky gray photo. Without that I never would have been able to stitch this at all.
