Let me admonish that I have the same (or similar) panohead, and there are still variables at play as you're rotating. For instance, the accuracy of the detent ring might not be exactly space-grade, the tripod might move a bit, you might lean on the camera in certain frames forcing the support to move a little, and so on. Therefore, I don't think you want to create fake control points, but rather allow each image to be aligned using real control points.
I assume what Bruno means is to take a .pto file, edit it to point to the new images, and load that in Hugin. This is fine if you want to pursue the fake control point path. What I do is use a Perl script that takes the right number of input files and puts them where they should be (I do two rows of pictures at 45 or 60 degree separation). This is useful to make sure I have those positions right using the preview. The real purpose of the script is to restrict SIFT to only stitching images that are adjacent, so I call SIFT a bunch of times to eventually connect everything. I think this saves time w.r.t. compute cycles, but also it saves time trying to find false control points later. I've posted the latest source code for my script in the files section, look for autosphere.pl.ver3 (note that I'm also doing exposure bracketing, so the script would have to be modified if you're not doing that. Feel free to send me the modifications so I can work them into the source) Accomplishing this in Hugin might some day become a feature, but I think there would have to be a rather-involved GUI that allows you to load pictures and make a connection graph similar to the file in the files section called "autosphere.pto.jpg", created by 'ptograph'. I think that the Gigapan software does something like this, where you form sort of a mosiac, and it connects an image to each of its eight neighbors. Then, you wouldn't want to draw that graph every time, so you'd have to have the ability to load/save a graph template. I'd love to see this feature added.
