This home project, however, is not recommended, unless you've too much time and money to spare.

His gear: An old Horseman 450L monorail 4 x 5 camera and an extensively modified Canon LIDE 20. You can click on this link to read how his setup was put together. However, if you're not interested in technical details, here's what this 115-megapixel camera is capable of.
