Thanks Mark, it was a great night. Even better with company - Andrew and I drove up and down the road, to Lostock Dam, and then ended up at this stump before heading back to camp.

I love the contrast of rich sky colours and dark landscape.

Preserve the stump, it looks good!

Ross.

Thanks Ross - it's a great stump. It's only going to take a drunken cow to stumble into it and I think it'll be gone.

Thanks Greg. Not pointing or waving in this one

How do you find ICE? You also use PTGui don't you? Is it as good or better?

Greg.

Thanks for the feedback. I didn't mind ICE at all - quick and easy to use. I usually use AutoPano Pro, but for two of the nightscape panoramas from IISAC it had problems stitching them, so I had to find an alternative.

I downloaded ICE and it was pretty good with both of them. Only a few minor spots I had to work on (apart from the usual warping).

I'll definitely give it another go.

Thanks Adam - I captured more than I needed and cropped a bit from the left, but only just got enough at the top. A little stretched at top but not noticeable enough.

Cheers
