I have seen the site referenced below. It uses a picture scanner and he has
taken the whole thing apart. I am thinking of doing the same thing except
keep the scanner whole and use the electronic and stepper drive already
inside.
To do a panorama shot I am thinking of moving the carriage to the middle of
the scanner and use the drive information being fed to the internal stepper
to drive an external one to rotate the camera.
I also saw someone mention to use a ground glass. I think this limits
resolution to the grain size of the ground glass and I understand about dis
connecting the light source for glare reasons but initially I will keep it
so that the scanner does not throw any calibration faults.
One thing I forgot to mention in my prior posts is that there is very low
sensitivity in the blue channel . If you look at your scanner's light you
will see it look quite blue vs red to make up for this.
Take a look to this:
