From the Wikipedia entry:
The Yerkes Observatory, arguably the birthplace of modern astrophysics, is an astronomical observatory of the University of Chicago in Williams Bay, Wisconsin. It was created in 1897 by George Ellery Hale and financed by Charles T. Yerkes. The observatory represented a shift in the thinking of observatories, from mere housing for a telescope and observer, to the modern concept of observation equipment integrated with laboratory space for physics and chemistry. A 102 cm (40 inch) refracting telescope built by the master optician Alvan Clark is located inside. It remains the largest refracting telescope ever used.

After many practice shots, my first 'real' GigaPan of the city of Peoria, taken from the bluff in East Peoria.

Once again, a pic of my back yard, but with my new Canon S5 IS this time. After much tinkering with the GigaPan bracket to fit up the camera properly, I re-shot my back yard to compare with my previous effort with a lower resolution and lower zoom camera. See here for the previous pic.

My back yard -- another test shot before I go out into the wild and start shooting for real. This turned out much better than my first attempt (now deleted from the GigaPan site) although this one is a little overexposed.
