I'm new here, and posted my firstpanorama. It came through fine but North is 90 degrees off on the map so the links are 90 degrees off. I've noticed this in other panoramas. How do I set north? Can I cahnage north on the panorama I posted. It looks like it was my anchor photograph.

Thanks for your reply. I had read the article, and now again. I see my panorama was not published. There is also a new gray and black stripe in it. Was it not published because of the stripe or for some other reason? I'm trying to learn and will upload it again to get rid of the stripe, but if there is another reason I need to know so I can work on that.

Regards, Andy

I don't see any stripe but the main reason for this panorama not being selected is that the horizon is not in the center of the image and therefore it looks crooked.

It is not really the horizon... because the are is hilly BUT the vertical alignment is way out. If you align using the vertical parts of the building and the barn everything will be OK !!

see attachment how to do alignment

Thanks, guys. I had seen the alternate choices for control points bu tdid not realize the use. Unfortunately I was too dumb to save the project so I get to create the panorama again, but I do need the practice. thanks again!

You don't have to re do the project , you can take the existing equirectangular picture and follow the last part of the description
