    RE: Your comment on the Texas Flag-Actually, MOST Texans voted overwhelmingly for McCain. Most Texans do not like nor did they vote for Obama. A little fact checking could have helped here :)

    Yes, I agree absolutely with both comments. Excessive overlap. Next time need to use a larger field of view. And patience was indeed required. Six days, 24 hours per day. But the poor computer finally got it all stitched together and it doesn't look too bad.

    (11 minutes per image x 759 images )/(60 min/hr x 24 hr/day) = 5.8 day stitch time ! That is pretty high for a 0.33 gigapixel image. You have a lot more patience than what I have. I just U/L a GigaPan, 10 times larger than yours [http://www.gigapan.org/viewGigapan .php?id=21682], but the average stitch time per image was about a minute. Like Apapane suggests, increasing your FOV decreases your overlap and thusly reduces your stitch time.... considerably. Looks good though.

    Very nice gigapan, but small for the number of frames taken. 759 frames x 10 Mpixels/frame = 7.59 Gpixels max, divide by 2 to estimate loss from overlap = ~3.8 Gpixels. Your overlap is WAAAAAY to much (>80%). Your overlap should be 30%; 40% max. Can you try setting the Epic-100 FOV to 4.5 degrees to test the overlap?
