Sorry, I should have been more clear. On my Sigma 8mm, I shoot 4 around titled up about 15?. That eliminates the need for a zenith shot. I tilt back down 15? (now at 90?), pick up the tripod and shoot the nadir. It is crude but effective.
When I say, brush in the nadir, I mean the nadir shot (minus the tripod). I drag the nadir shot in over the cube image that contains the tripod and using a layer mask and brush, I paint it in.
You are right, it is a lot of work!
