My Little Planet

Hi all,
Sorry if you are getting sick of me posting images but I am on holidays at the moment and am making the most of it. I recently purchased a great piece of panorama software called PTGui Pro that makes lite work of my landscape astrophotography panoramas. No more spending two days in editing like I did on my IOTW "Southern Skies" http://www.iceinspace.com.au/forum/s...ad.php?t=87303
So now I can process a few panos that I have been sitting on for a while. Decided to take this 360 degree pano to the next level and produce a "little planet" projection. Didn't capture enough data above the line of the Milky Way so I ended up with some unavoidable distortion in the southern cross region. Lesson learnt. Taken in pitch black darkness on top of a hill near my place so I couldn't capture any foreground detail. Light pollution glows are Holbrook and Albury on the right and Wagga Wagga on the left. If you look to the left of the central bulge of the Milky Way you should be able to make out me standing on the horizon. So, I present "My Little Planet"

Thank you very much Deeno I see a few daytime "little planet" projections but not many night ones. Alex Cherney has done some great ones.

You must be chuffed with this one, even with the little kerfuffle in Crux.
