Maybe we need 5 shots each. North, South, East, West, and straight up.
Is there a PC application out there that can stitch heaps of shots together to make a hemispheric projection like the star charts in the middle of astro magazines? That would be interesting.

Hugin or AutoStitch if you want to try a freebie, but I'm not sure about hemispheric projections. AutoPano Pro if you don't mind the "moderate" price. AutoPano Giga if you want to be able to handle huge panoramas.
I agree on the varying LP. Out my way North East through North West is sort of OK, West is passable until you get to the Penrith skyglow, the rest is very bad.
I can try some shots from the showground where I don't have all the problems at home. The trees don't a) block the view and b) reflect all the sodium vapour from the main road.
With an 11mm lens in portrait that is only 6 to 8 frames, but the zenith might not stitch well.
