All that work paid off! That turned out pretty good.

It’s amazing what can be done with a US$179 drone.

Thanks!

One thing that's a bit of a bummer is that the sky cuts off very low. I completely forgot to tilt the gimbal up and get more sky in, as I'd intended to. Luckily the sky is so monochromatic it's not that noticeable.

If you want, I can run your images through PTGui Pro and see how it does. It has a fill gaps selection that should work well for an overcast day. You would just have to upload them to something like Google Drive and share the link with me.

That'd be great - I can upload the original TIF. Will DM.

I will be interesting to see how PTGui Pro does with your images so you can compare.

One more Neo panorama -- this is literally nothing but a parking lot.

The parking lot was mostly empty when I started flying around but there happened to be an even there and it filled with cars while I was there. Just for the heck of it I tried doing a pano. I took three rows of pics, one straight out, one high, one low, and a nadir. I missed a bit on the bottom and a lot on the top and filled them in in GIMP.

I only needed to do a little manual work in Hugin to get them to stitch successfully, which was amazing, given how much of a pain it's been sometimes in the past!

Let me stress again: this is a super boring thing to take a picture of. It's just a parking lot. But I was happy to get it to stitch so successfully so I thought I'd share, just as part of the general "let's prove that a Neo can do panos despite totally not being designed for that sort of thing" theme.
