Re: [APML] Cheap fun - 100F and a tripod

["Chris Cook" <ccjd@ix.netcom.com>]

Only needing about 4 shots to cover the whole sky (overlapping included),
this would be quite a easy project.  Then comes the actual mosaic on the
computer.  What programs are available that could warp shots taken with a
fisheye lens to produce a nice mercator projection image?
