Nice, imagine if Bedlington had one of these 18 Gigapixel things

Surprisingly it doesn't actually take that much work and equipment to do it.

Bet it takes a lot of money thought

not really, you can use regular consumer cameras. The only bit of additional equipment to a standard camera is a motorised head that can move in increments. About £200-400 for a retail product or ask 3g and he'll probably knock something up from bits lying around

If my dish rotator goes missing I now know where to look.

I used a four year-old windows PC with two single-core 3ghz xeon processors and 8GB of RAM. After a week of frustration, I also bought an SSD, which helped to speed up some tasks a bit. If I will make this image again, I will buy a new computer.

Guess we won't be doing this on this four year old netbook then!

We could set up the Bedi@home project.

It would fold before it got started.
