The apparent shift in stars' positions, against the "fixed" background of more distant stars, is a function of the stars' distance from Earth. In this case, the parallax baseline is the distance from one point in Earth's orbit to another.
World View. So we can the understand that the parallax is the change in the apparent position of an object when the position of the observer changes. Now let us look at the concept of parallax error. If you have placed a pencil on a metre rule and you are reading its length then just like in fig 1 above and in fig 2 below you can place you eye everywhere you want. As you can see from fig 2 above I have chosen three position at which you can place your eye.
Now there is a line from the tip of eye to the of the pencil that continues up to the scale. This line of sight must be be at right angle to the scale.
This is shown above in fig. If the line of sight and the scale are not ar right angle to each other then a parallax error is committed.
Similarly with a measuring cylinder the line of sight from the eye to the bottom of the meniscus must be at right angle to the scale as shown in fig 4 below. In this case the line of sight is horizontal and the scale vertical.
So as you can see above each time you are taking a reading you must ensure that the line of sight is perpendicular to the scale. It made my day! Hi, I'm a physics teacher. This article is very informative.
I hope you keep updating this blog. But how do you correct for the error? How to Calculate Distance Angle. How to Make a Hologram Projector. How to Calculate Temperature Uncertainty. How to Use a Celestron Telescope. How to Calibrate Theodolite. How to Calculate Relative Accuracy. How to Use a Bushnell Reflector Telescope.

The solution for this, is to rotate the camera at the entrance pupil location, or nodal point in common tongue. I will use the term nodal point from now on. By rotating the camera this way, we avoid the parallax.
I have done the experiment with the camera on the tripod again, but now the camera is rotating over the nodal point. As you can see, the foreground and background have the same location relative to each other. There is no parallax error. Stitching software will have a much easier job, and stitching errors will be less likely to occur.
You already can guess by looking at the images. You need a way to change the position of the camera on the tripod. For this you need to buy a nodal slide. Or you can build your own, of course. It is a very simple and lightweight piece of metal, that can easily find a place in your camera bag. You only need to know where the nodal point of your lens is located.
You can search the internet to find out the exact position of the nodal point of your lens, or you can find out yourself by doing the same experiment as I did. Just change the offset of your camera on the tripod, and find the distance where two objects stay in line. Write the numbers down, and put the note in your bag. I made one myself, with every bit of information I need when I am going to shoot panoramas.
A nodal slide is perfect for horizontal panoramas up to full circle. But what if you want to shoot in multiple rows? The parallax error not only occurs with horizontal panoramas, but also when changing the vertical angle. It can be quite a challenge to set up the system, but it makes stitching a lot easier. Now I can also make vertical panoramas without the risk of parallax errors. Do you have a nodal slide for panoramic shots, or do you avoid close objects?
I would love to see your setup for shooting panoramas, so feel free to share an image of your setup and tell me about the good things, and if present, also the downsides. I'm looking forward to your comments. Nando Harmsen is a Dutch photographer that is specialized in wedding and landscape photography.
With his roots in the analog photo age he gained an extensive knowledge about photography techniques and equipment, and shares this through his personal blog and many workshops. Check out the Fstoppers Store for in-depth tutorials from some of the best instructors in the business. I took a workshop in this last year. This article is very well written and explains how to make high-quality panoramas the right way. Reading this, I just realized I have enough components from my astro rig to piece together a panoramic mount.
I meant to pick up one unit a while back that was quite economical, but I forget the brand. I might give this a shot at with my astro gear. Nice article, thanks!
Curious, does it matter how far away the subject is from the front object, can it be any thing in the background? How far out from part of the image that is included in the foreground?
