The way this Instructable came about was like this. I was surfing the internet when I came on to a site that had a nice looking panorama. I wanted to learn something about panoramas. To do this, I needed to search the internet to find just what I needed to get started. I found very few sites that told me what I wanted to know. So like everything else I do, I thought that I would just fake it and see what I come up with. First I put "free panorama software" in for a search and came up with some software that I could try. The only thing about this software was, they put the name all over the picture as a watermark. At least this gave me a starting point.
You will have to make the Quicktime movie player as your default player to view the movie. If you need help with the default thing, go to any movie on your hard drive and click on it. You will see a menu. Go to the bottom of it and click Choose Software or Program. This will bring up a dialog box. Move down the list until you find the Quicktime player. Click on it. Next go to the bottom and in the little box on the left hand side, put a check mark in that box. Now you are good to go. Once the movie starts, you can zoom in or out by hitting the Ctrl or the Shift Keys. You can also use the mouse to move around in the panorama. Thank you for viewing it. Chuck

After much reading, I was ready to start playing around with the panorama thing. I had seen some really nice panoramas while I was looking on the internet for the software that I needed. This made me more inclined to get started with the project. I started out with some really flunky equipment. I bought a really old camera at the swap meet many years ago for next to nothing. I was able to search the internet to find the drivers and the software I needed to use the camera. It was free from the manufacture's website.
