Hi,

Just finished processing 360 degree panorama I took at the Loch Ard Gorge lookout on the Great Ocean Road yesterday before sunrise.

I played with the projections of the panoramic image and thought this one demonstrates the Belt of Venus atmospheric phenomenon nicely.

Thanks for looking,
Alex

And the same panoramic image in a flat projection.

Very beautiful panorama Alex, I like the stereographic projection, it's a wonderful place for a little planet and I agree it's a very nice resource to show the belt of Venus.

Nice work Alex, brings back memories of when I was there last year.
