Mr Bean,
Question for you:
I noticed that the assembled photo takes on a strange shape. Did you use photoshop?
I had been doing several panos using Microsoft ICE (a windows product, don't think it can be ported to MAC OS), and the result is quite well behaved, edge trimming is minimal.

Tweaked in Lightroom
(hopefully it shows, as I've been having issues with Google Photos)

Hi Lion rock,
I used the merge tool in Lightroom. There's an option to trim (crop) the image, but I quite like the appearance, plus it shows more of the image.
Cheers,
Nick

it doesn't show anymore

Hi meywd,
It appears for me now. I did go into Google Photos and tweak the "sharing" options. In theory at least, the image should be available to anyone. I'll have to look into this aspect of Google Photos, because its becoming really annoying, just to have the ability to quickly share images. It never used to be such a problem, 12 months ago.
Cheers,
Nick

it still not showing here, is there a geo lock?

 

[Mr Bean]

No geo lock. But, I just went into this post and I couldn't see the image either. If I start another tab and log into Google Photos, the image then appears in this page. For some reason, it only shows when I'm logged in. I'll try to sort it out tonight.

Lovely! What are those two globular things on the left of the image? Is one of them Andromeda?

I started off by using Autopano. It is good. However one needed to download every few months as the license would expire. Then I moved on to ICE. That was good too. Ever since Lightroom introduced the pano option, I use that.

Thanks rpt.

Its the Large and Small Magellanic Cloud. I'm in Australia and these are southern sky objects. Essentially, two satellite galaxies of the Milky Way.

I used to use the merge tool in PS. But since LR has this feature, and it generally works fine for what I need.

Right! Southern sky! Thanks. Forgot about that.

Shot this last night at the Mammoth Mountain Ski resort in the Eastern Sierra Nevada mountains of California. Single exposure with a Canon 6D and Rokinon 24mm 1.4 lens. 30s at f2 ISO 1600 using an iOptron Skytracker Pro. Processed in Adobe Lightroom CC.

Very nice shots. I especially like the first one. Well done.

I finally took the 5DS out for a night shoot just to see how it did compared to the 5D IV.
All in all, not bad. It did slow down Lightroom when I was brushing, but OK.
Noise reduction was minimal but it didn't kill resolution as fast as with 5D IV shots.
