Really cool - what did you use to stitch?

Normally I use Adobe Camera Raw and stitch the DNG files. But for this to do so more quickly I just stitched the jpegs with Microsoft ICE (Image Composite Editor) which is an older discontinued software.

Going to need 64GB of system ram (instead of the 32GB currently)... Adobe Camera Raw really struggled to merge much of the 230 raw DNG photos that I ended up having merge rows first and then merge each of those rows to each other. Still had trouble getting a bit of the snow field areas in the bottom left (not shown here). So instead of about 600 megapixel result of a larger area, I instead got the upper-middle portion of about 300 megapixels merged with some edge cropped off and some minor inconsistencies (sun came out during portions).

So this is the result that is a DNG file merged, didn't quite exposure balance in the bottom right there.

Fed the same images into drone deploy to end up with this 707 megapixel result that is very clean.
