Thanks Eduardo and Seb! These are really great ideas. I have tried the "Apply template" idea and it works perfectly for the case of all images being aligned. It will certainly simplify the approach for many projects. The only issue I have is that the Nadir is handheld. For this case, it will only be aligned for the original set used to create the template.
The project I am working on is an exposure enfused pano made up of 5 shot, 1EV step brackets. The Nadir is also a 5 shot bracket and is handheld. I am using a stereographic projection, so alignment of the Nadir will be important.
