Just looked on Ebac's site. It seems most of these can extract
up to 21 L a day but only have a 3.5 L tank, so it's going
to stop after 6 hours anyway
The funnel can be inserted at the back of the machine where it sits underneath the condenser to catch the distilled water and run it off to a sink or other receptacle like a 5 gallon container or similar.
Running the water off to a drain means the machine can be left on to maintain the relative humidity of the room 24x7.

Novoflex have a system where the camera is tilted at
45deg. They reckon it needs less shots. Here's a video
showing how to do a spherical panaorama in 2 mins.

I have been looking at ND filters on ebay.
If you don't, can I suggest you do some reading and find out exactly what they are and why they might be used.
Neutral density filters come in various types (ND, graduated ND Soft transition, graduated ND hard transition), shades (0.3, 0.6, 0.9 etc), sizes (round, square, rectangular), and materials (resin, glass), not to mention varying colour casts. You made find there are many more than 50 shades of grey, blue, and green.
You really need to know how and why you'd use them before shelling out money, perhaps unnecessarily.
Finally, remember, if you buy cheap, you will usually buy twice.

. . . but I'm guessing that the camera used for this is akin to those used by the likes of NASA and Oxford Scientific Films, Peter.
All you need is one of these, a DSLR, and a decent telephoto lens. Images of static scenes are simpler of course.
Much more expensive options do exist, like the systems based on multiple cameras and a conical mirror arrangement to produce some of the 360 degree panos.

It made me wonder how close (or far away) we are to seeing a camera available to the mass market that offers this level of detail.
You could use say a DA*300mm lens and take a whole series of images in rows and columns, then stitch them together.

If you have various mould spores growing on furniture, what are they doing to you and your family?
If you can't move, I suggest getting some heat into the whole house, running a good dehumidifier to dry out the general atmosphere, and/or improve the ventilation within your home. The whole family will benefit, not just your photography gear.

I can't argue with that, so, one word to the OP, Lee.
