HAPS-1 360 degree Panorama - 2nd version

As HAPS-1 plummeted back to Earth after the balloon burst at 32,000m (106,000ft) the camera was able to capture some shots pointed towards the ground. Some of these are quite blurry as the gondola was spinning rapidly. It was also descending quite fast and so the point of view changed quite rapidly limiting the number of images that could be used. So this image has quite a few imperfections but still gives a nice impression of the view from 100,000ft above England. And is much more than I ever hoped for from this first attempt with a single camera.
