I have two 19" monitors side by side, I think I just found my next wallpaper!
That is just great Steve! Is that 350D modified? Great color!

Greg

Thanks Greg. I had it printed on a 4ft wide canvas for above my desk but I like the dual monitor idea.
Just a standard 350D.

Steve.

Yeah...download error..this fixed it.Sorry about my confusion...

The JPG picture I took with my phone of my monitors makes the contrast really stand out, but I still like it. Thanks Steve!

You need another monitor.

Even with another one, it would still be scrunched down from four feet! ...well, maybe not...

Wow! Amazing image!

Steve, this is without a doubt one of THE BEST IMAGES I have ever seen of the Milky Way!

VERY WELL DONE, SIR!

Very nice!

Can you give me some info about your image? I'd like to know the ISO you shoot at, what (if any) difficulty you have when putting together a panoramic of this type, and what stitching program do you use?

The image is incredible. I have to get my hands on a larger aperture camera!

Thanks!

John

Thanks for the compliments.
John - These were done at ISO1600 (which ain't pretty on a 350D). Stitching was a bit of a pain. MS ICE was the most successful but wouldn't export to PS in WinXP. CS3 would stack them but distorted the two end frames so I ended up merging them 2 at a time in CS3 and then merging the resulting files. I overlayed a jpeg from ICE as a template to check that the alignments were correct.
