Hmm."Search Image" on Google suggests Brooklyn Bridge.
Is that close?

So that's about 10 mins Rob?
Do you shoot rows or columns - or is there no choice?
yeah about that, usually ~ 22min for a 360, longer if I use a 50mm (10 sec exposures there).Do you shoot rows or columns - or is there no choice?
With my iPano I could shoot whatever order I want, this was with the novoflex vr so its far easier to shoot rows as the column adjustment is a pain.
Does that difference matter much to the amount of effort required for alignment/movement and so on? Or dies the stitching software just deal with it anyway - at least to a satisfactory level of accuracy for your purpose?
Sorry for all of the questions but I could imagine that some patience might be required - especially for a 360.
Daylight photography, thought I'd forgotten how to do it for a bit!

Excellent Matt 
Do you have a similar set up to Rob or something less complex?
I don't quite have the equipment and I definitely can't match the talent!Do you have a similar set up to Rob or something less complex?
I'm using a Nikon D750 and a Samyang 14mm F2.8, the distortion of a wide angle lens does lead to some problems trying to stitch panoramas.

Did you hike up to the top of the 6?
No, I got a ride up in a cat, it would be a long walk!Couple of questions if you don't mind;
- How do you avoid distortion in your panoramas? I find that to achieve a true horizon means the sky becomes progressively more stretched to the point that the stars are oval, the only way I can find to avoid it is to have a curved horizon which looks even worse!
- The sharpness and clarity of the stars in your pictures, is it down to the lens or something else?

The 14mm will distort the view i prefer 35 or 50 for stitching. MW being high will cause perspective issues when stitching too, I tend to shoot 360s then , having frames both left and right stops some distortion. I use as good a prime as I can, the sy14 is ok but not really a pano lensCouple of questions if you don't mind;
