Locations for the last two panos, if you head South from Safford, once you get to the 10 park and look North, thats the daylight shot. The early morning shot is just north of the Chiricahuas.
This next one shows why you should use a tripod if at all possible.

Manual mode and no polarizer is best, for consistant lighting across the series of images that are stitched together. Color and brightness variations in the sky are dificult to clean up, if you are using any type of Automatic Mode.

Here is one of Boulder and the flatirons, auto stitched with my own software..
Its not fast but it does a good job, its better than auto stitch because it doesn't assume an infinite projection so handles near objects as well as far objects.

More than 180 degree view from our campsite in Monache Meadows a few weeks ago. A dozen or so images were stitched together, then converted in Silver Efex.

This is from the camp ground at Chaco Canyon.
An experimentation on just how much could I get away with painting in the blanks with a fuzzy brush and clone tool.

I could have done much better stealing some cloud from another image, would have looked a lot less fake had I done it right.
