Erik is right,
even if you can project ~160 DEG, it will look very strange at the the
very left and the very right side.
Look at this one:
http://www.trozzreaxxion.net/ut/gallery/multirowpano/aby
This is cylindrical ~ 180 DEG and looks more or less OK to me
I projected this one rectlinear and cropped a lot, but it still looks
very poor/strange at the very left/right:
http://www.trozzreaxxion.net/ut/gallery/multirowpano/abz
And:
Like you can easily see I missed to take some additional images to fill
out bottom/top in the middle!
PS:
Doing this pano was really a desaster. Whatever can de done wrong, I did
it :-(
best, mike
