This one comes in at just under 150MP. Strangely it outputted at a much heftier 500MP when using Microsoft ICE but I preferred the result that PTGui gave me. I really like the amount of detail I get from these 35mm panoramas, despite how much more work is involved in both shooting them and then stitching it all together.
This panorama stretches approximately 200 degrees from east to west. The light pollution behind the lighthouse is from my home city of Perth, directly south of Guilderton. The Large and Small Magellanic Clouds are clearly visible just above the light pollution to the right of the lighthouse.
