    Thanks for the very intriguing video. I have wished for a Cirkut most of my life, but one has never come my way. I was especially interested in his contact prnter.

    Thanks! I really loved that Snelson video.

    I imagine Snelson made or found the huge device

    These days, many just fly a drone and rotate in air to capture stills, then computer stitch

    10 years ago I shot a city block mural with Digi stills and tried stitching the massive file

    not good enough

    I have one of the old Morse contact printers. I guess it has about 40 independently switched bulbs. It used to work fine with contact paper, but overexposes with enlarger paper. I brought some 10% light transmission filter to see it that fixes the problem, but haven't tried it yet. No manual yet, but I just brought one on EBay.
