Another Gigapan

I was mainly trying to see if my technique had improved any on making large micropanoramas.  This the the Josiah Willard Gibbs (famous for his thermodynamics) stamp published in 2004.  It is neat in that it has the equation for the Gibbs' free energy on his collar as micro-printing to prevent counterfeiting.
Magnified, this is what is on the collar:
You can enjoy the entire stamp on the Gigapan site.  For those interested the image consists of 189 photos merged using Photoshop.  I had to reduce the image from ca. 40000 x 23000 pixels by half in order to save it as a jpg file.
