Tomorrow will be the shortest day of the year so I will plan in advance tonight for some scheduled tasks to fill it.

I live a bit up river from you but have an interest in many of the same things such as wind/solar power and such. I have an attached greenhouse, do water harvesting and am looking at a wind generator, perhaps a vertical axis [eggbeater] model.
A neat automatic photo stitching program called "Autostitch" from
a university research program and offers a Free demo version [doesn't do raw images in Free version]Also Industrial Light & Magic (ILM), uses Autostitch software to produce panoramas for film production.

"Autostitch™ is the world's first fully automatic 2D image stitcher. Capable of stitching full view panoramas without any user input whatsoever,"
I used that from about 2005, for years, still have a copy of the download on one of these many hard drives, simple and very effective program
