I have the Vixen Polarie. I had an O-GPS1 for a time, but sold it. I now
have the AstroTrack built into the K-3ii.
The biggest differences are:
No annoying calibration necessary with the Polarie, but it must be polar
aligned. (I built an adjustable wedge for the latitude part of the
equation, so
Bald Butte is the highest point in Saskatchewan at 4567 ft. It rises
some 2000 ft above the surrounding prairie.
This is a 4 image stitch taken from the top facing approximately north,
and comprising ~180º view. I'm quite impressed with the low level of
flare off the A15mm. One would think
I often crop to suit my sense of
composition.

I don't seem to be posting much these days, but we just got back from a
short and relaxing trip to the Cypress Hills in south west Sask.
There is some wildlife, somewhat semi wild in reality.
Anyway, it's not really my thing, but I tried.

Luiz's question about astrophotography reminded me that I find that one
thing I use mine for a lot is night time landscapes. I've gotten some
really nice shots of the milky way simply by pointing the camera at it
and taking 30 second exposures using Astrotracer.
Unfortunately I can't search

Yes those are the 9 -- but 4 wasn't tricky for me because I know the
areapretty well.. aside from any place I've actually lived, I've spent
more time
in Boston and the close suburbs than any other area in the USA. (I count
New York, Chicago, Orono, Maine and Las Vegas as places I've lived in)
I love that lens. I don’t use it a lot, but it is perfect on the wide endfor
car interiors. And at 30mm, it’s a nice landscape lens, capBle of capturing
plenty of detail.

Ann:
Street view on Google Maps (or other similar services) can be helpful too.
As a matter of fact, to make sure I am not making a mistake, I used that
to double check that #1 and #2 were separated building, and #3
was a single building.
I also checked that 6 and 7 were different buildings
I took it out for a couple hours this afternoon, a little more dedicated
test than just randomly shooting though the results are more or less the
same. I'm glad I got it - though I have to rethink the camera bag
situation in light of its size.

Yes, the Herzfeld Center is part of the MAM located on the lower level
of the building. Here's a link to a museum map.

I suspect my #10 was the very small

Had a feeling I was pushing it.

Thanks to everybody for the comments and for solving the puzzle.
So, the place is the corner of Copley Square in Boston.
The highly reflective building is John Hancock tower.
I believe the correct answer is 9. Indeed, the building on the right is
reflected in the long low side of John
