ok, that's a bit embarrassing...
(in the computer I was then , the preview of the post was fine, but apparently linking from box.com doesn't work)

Trying again:
First the BW:
 

 
The color version

And finally the other color version. This was just my reference photo for assembling the panorama (so I can compare the panorama to it and limit distorsions)
 
 
of course I regret not being more in front of the tip of the island (like in HCB original photo, it is the ideal framing) but there were too many people at the "right" spot.

The inconvenient of stitching these images and then looking for errors, duplications, etc, is that one tend to look so closely at it, that one may lose some perspective on other things and become a bit colorblind to the shifts in color etc. So if you feel the stone areas are a bit too blue/cool (in that last one, and too bright in the others), let me know.
Thanks for looking

I have been thinking about continuous lighting with leds as well. I don't know if the cheaper ones have enough power to be useful outdoors. When I need a higher speed sync, I use a X100s as suggested above. It does sync at any speed. With the tele lens adapter, one can even get nice portraits.
 
On a side note, I use the TTL triggers by serene automation. On the XT1, they now allow for continuous shooting, though I have not tested them in a real life situation, just to check that it worked. They are expensive, but TTL, and will work with fuji and nikon flashes (as well as some others, but those are the ones I have).
 
I had missed the sync speed update for the XT1. Just did it. Thanks George_P for the heads up.

That's the "used Photoshop for align the 6 photos" part. In astrophotography image processing is at least half the work. You can't do wonders if the original images are bad, but even if they're as good there's still tons of processing to do before you end up with a great picture of the milky way or other astronomical objects.
 
I posted this list in an earlier topic, but I guess it might be useful here as well:
