Yes, it is useful. If you want to level your panorama using the horizon it is best to have horizontal CPs approximately 45° apart.

After trying many times to level a handheld beach pano using horizontal lines, here's what I did that finally succeeded:

1. Set up horizontal lines from the first frame to each of the other photos, connecting the left edge point on the horizon to the left edge point in each case.

2. Set up similar horizontal lines for the right edge points.

3. Optimized everything INCLUDING translation.

Like magic, the horizon straightened itself out.

I think it was the translation that made it work. Optimizing without translation didn't straighten out the horizon.

Now I need to go back and re-do some of my older panos that had similar issues.
