One hour sunset picture exposures?

[George Pearl <alps007@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Bill, will you please tell me just how you can take a one hour sunset
picture? By the time you get through taking so long of a sunset,  one half
of the panorama would be in sun while the other half would be in total
darkness wouldn't it? Or do you start the exposure say...55 minutes before
official sunset? What do you do?
Just wondering.
My best,
George Pearl,
Atlanta, GA
