Tip for determining the Nodal Point of any lens. It's very simple, it's the focal length of the lens. Take that distance and measure from the Film Plane and that is the nodal point. BTW a small tape measure in your kit bag is quite handy for this.

Thank you Sir.

What was the aspect ratio and Mpicel count of that Pano? I use an Acratec pano head and rail. My panos are usually 2x4.5 and around 102 Mpixels or 2x6 and around 140 Mpixels with my EOS R.

The Place of Fine Arts pano is 16,292 x 6013 and is 3 rows of 17 images for a 51 image pano.
