Shooting a multi-row panorama with an 85mm lens will result in nearly 3x more resolution than when using a 50mm lens for the same field of view. In the medium format technique, we used a 50mm lens. The primary difference between a “medium format” pano and a “large format” pano is the use of an even longer focal length lens. We simply combine multiple overlapping photos from a longer focal length lens to make a final photo with a much larger field of view and much higher resolution. And the methods I’m using for large format astrophotography are not much different from the panorama technique I showed in my post about “medium format astrophotography”. Of all of the techniques for shooting and processing that I’ve explored, panorama stitching stands out above all the rest in terms of improving resolution and maximizing the overall quality of an image. The equivalent sensor area of a large format panorama can be many times larger than common sensor sizes like full-frame, resulting in unparalleled image quality. The results are astrophotos with resolutions that can range from 150 megapixels to 1 gigapixel or more. Pretty much any interchangeable lens camera or camera with a 1″ sensor or larger will be able to utilize this technique. With the techniques in this article, it’s possible to emulate the image caliber of a 4×5″ or even an 8×10″ large format camera using a regular DSLR or mirrorless camera.

I’ve spent the last half year learning how to shoot and process large format landscape astrophotography panoramas. And so, I’d like to share what I’ve discovered so far in my quest for capturing more pixels.
