Thanks everyone for taking a look.
Nathan yes (including what I thought initially was a straight side on the
left edge), yeah right and no such thing.
Jim, that Ferris wheel is right in the extreme corner of frame of the 35
plus foreshortened by sharp downward angle (34 storeys up)  of course but
also at an extreme angle (too much actually) in the stitching series. In
fact almost 180 degrees behind the starting position. Note the pincushion
distortion of the (straight) beach line too. I plan to try again if I get a
second clear night and try different stitching too. I shall do a daylight
version too, if I get some more sunshine. It seems like we have had grey sky
and rain hereabouts most of the time for months.

Cheers
Geoff
