By way of instruction For those who want to try getting a bow photo 2

Yes, I have found your bottle (won't mark it, though, in order not to spoil the fun for others). Great comparison of stitching results.

Thanks But lots of things wrong with the shot but my first real try at a Milky way Bow. You learn each time this shot was taken 11 /10 / 2015. water bottle glows alright.

It's beautiful Steve!

thank you

Haha, I found the bottle! Yes, the difference between stitching programmes is striking! Because of the visible seams I never used Photostitch...ICE has got to grips with procection issues now and works well with daytime panos but you cannot set control points.

From what i have found Day every thing works well like me Herb has gone the same way and seen the same. his Bow came down under for me to put together as he found nothing worked he had or got for free. i have to say once you get a panorama made in PtGui you can push it about to get things right nothing else comes even close. I have ICE on my laptop but sadly still fails at night and no its not old but the new version. I still have about 5 panorama makers on my computer but my only night one is PtGui i use the rest for day.

Pt Gui not one control point added stitched perfectly first up. i still say that you have to think what you want and how it effects the end result. Yes the joins area big thing that show a good result or not . i have been there long time before and l know you get what you pay for or not in the night time.

this was some thing i had never done as all my first work here was Hugin but the result with PTGui surpasses all the others i ever made. you are looking at my first ever real try to get a Bow but there are so many thing wrong with this shot i would never do again but the result no matter what still spins me out that i made all the right decisions to try and learn. i only hope all of this is some thing others on here can learn from and never be afraid to ask questions, how. i think this is one off my personal bucket list of to do................... every one i do spins me out first to the very latest.

glad you saw the bottle it glows in all the city lights..............

Beautiful capture Steve
Congrats on Explore.

Thank you i did see it there as well a bit of a shock , my first ever real; attempt to get a Bow.

Hi Steve

Great respect here for your technical ability.
While some parts of England get clear skies, sadly most don't and the city lights bleed off the atmospheric haze. That is why it is so nice to see your pics. Thank you for sharing them!

Best wishes,
Peter

Thanks Peter i know you are right by what i get from Herb but having said that a little planning you can do the very same not on of these mine or come from here.

all from England and easily repeatable its not the best type of photography you are up against so many things that can go wrong but when it all goes right.

i hope you get the chance to look through the group and see how its done better i put this and the next door shot on here for instruction in not what to do in stitching programs once you know what to look for you can see it.

i have helped Herb and am tickled pink he got a bow with all that light.

its not hard but it does take practice and planning to get them right but its still not like you see it in real life my later one look like you are on the ground look out.
many thanks
