JHC! That's a huge pano. I'd love to see that printed. Nice work. But next time do it with a 10x.

Great work! Looks like a single exposure, to my eyes.

I am doing a first attempt at stitching, but I have issues with light
variations, as I did my shots over several days. Mine is looking
like the images from the Mars Rover, where the stitched area shows
seams due to light changes.

Any clues to even lighting that you used and wish to share would be nice.

Thanks everyone.

Mike, my stack and stitch system is fully automated, but still, this one took few hours to finish capture, then a few hours to stack them using Zerene's batch process, two continuous lights with 50x60 cm softbox on each side. So I do not have that issue. Stitching took only a few minutes.
