I was writing of editing, as in masking, paiting, etc. In my use I don't see any difference in aligning images at Zenith/Nadir or elsewhere on the screen. Can you elaborate why those images do not align for you? > It's not all > that hard to get the zenith within hugin by manually placing zenith > shots without control points.

Yes, the tripod is in the way of photographing the Nadir, but there are ways around this such as removing the tripod and shooting hand held (and soon, using XYZ correction). From a stitching workflow perspective (as opposed to a shooting workflow perspective) Nadir and Zenith are exactly the same thing. It is one of the unsolved problem of stitching the sphere, to determine computationally what is up and what is down. This is why sometimes panoramas stitch upside down.
