(In case it wasn't obvious, that slightly blue dot in the upper right quadrant of the APOD photo in #19 is Earth...)

Oh...and ...Thanks for sharing the full image!

Made from 165 images, so not sure if it qualifies as a photograph. Sure is neat though.

If it's made with real images, and doesn't split with reality at any point, I consider it a valid photograph. Just think of it as having an unusual exposure time, and a computer-assisted lens.

When I do a mulit-shot panoramic sometimes I have to edit out things, like when someone moves from shot to shot - welding the source photos into one picture creates artifacts. I consider this a step back from a photo, more of a mosaic. But if no content editing needed to be done, I'll call it a panoramic photo.

This is it with less contrast.

But I like being in the same picture twice.
