Nice photo - you may want to consider your framing technique though...

An incredible, not to mention difficult, event to capture with a gigapan! Nice job, thanks for sharing!

Thanks for the ideas guys! I'm going to re-run the stitch tonight and try that. I had a whole other column of the launch that had to be cut out to make it work.

Nice. Seconding Kilgore661's comment, you could renumber the input images to split the cylinder at a different point, putting the space shuttle near the center, and rerun the stitcher.

Congratulations Susan. Your sense of timing must be phenomenal! A really cool gigapan and it would be even cooler if you could geocode it so we can see it in 3D, or rearrange the images so the stitcher puts the rocket in the middle.
