WHAT IS A 'BOKEH PANO'
A 'Pano' (Panorama) is a composite image stitched together from multiple frames. The 'Bokeh' aspect relates to those frames being taken on a longer focal length lens with a big aperture and used wide open. This emulates an impossibly fast, wide-angle lens (or a camera with a significantly larger sensor). Here's a diagram to help illustrate the technique and why it's better than an actual fast, wide-angle lens:
​
The aperture of the lens being used to take the panorama doesn't increase as more images are taken, it's just that big to start with. It doesn't change because the camera rotates around the lenses 'Entrance Pupil' (where this light crosses over) to take all the shots for the panorama.
