Nice short and concise overview.
I’ve started a threat over in the forums were I invite everyone to give a compact step-by-step guide of their own preferred technique.

Hi Chris,
who is the guy that pops up waving in the back of your backdrop in this show?
cheers,
Marcus
I bet his name is Matte.
Hello Chris,
I think it’s important to note that you should also take the white balance out of “automatic”. I usually set it to “sunny” when taking panoramic landscape shots.
Greetings from not too far away in Switzerland,
Jakob
Hi
One thing I realized is to switch off the autofocus. Focus on a certain point and leave the focus there. Otherwise the chance is high that you get a sharp overlap in one photo and in the other it is blurred due to depth of field. Then the software can’t find any control points.
