Ok, it is over a year old but the numbers are still impressive.

• 90 shots (maybe 88 used here) at 83mm focal length
• final cropped panorama is 77624 px × 3072 px
• stitched using hugin with the nona engine, blended with enblend
• nona did take about 3 hours (this just morphs the images)
• blending them using enblend did take about 3 days (!)
• in the first run I did forget to activate LZW compression for the tifs created by nona, so each one was about 1.2 GB and my hard disk was filled up, with LZW it's just about 24 MB per pic as there're big transparent areas
• the final LZW compressed tif is about 600 MB, loaded in Gimp to crop, Gimp needs about 3.5 GB
• the uploaded scaled down JPEG version just is about 2.5 MB

So is it feasible? No! Just a test and next time I'll use a smaller focal length... The problem is not only the stitching time, but it's hard to work with these many images in hugin (and I assume in any other stitching program). Because of that this stitch isn't perfect by far (usually I'd have defined more vertical and horizontal lines), but I don't care for this one.

It would be interesting to see how long it takes on modern hardware (more RAM, dual core)... :D
