This does indicate that you had interstack control points between more than only one image per stack. Maybe you'll have to doublecheck on your use of the control point generator parameters in your settings, as explained in the help (quote from hugin help on Hugin Parameters for Control Point Detectors dialog): "Panorama with stacks This setting is intended for panoramas with stacks. In the first step it selects the image with the median exposure of every stack. Then it tries to match these median exposed images. After this step all image stacks should be connected. Then it tries to connect the images of every stack by using the program given under Detector for stacks. When your panorama does not contain stacks, it's does the same as All images at once." Creating a panorama from fused stacks does nothing other than first fusing the stacks and then stitching the fused stacks together. > Five of the six stacks fused individually as simple > panoramas without problems, but the sixth - on the > right-hand edge of the picture, much to my surprise, as I > would have expected the problem to lie with the middle > stack(s) - took quite a bit of effort to bring it into good > register.

As you see, the possibilities are endless... hugin is a complex tool and takes a while to get to know - and it does have odd and annoying quirks as well. But if you get it to do what you want done, the results are often very good. > The three bracketing images would have been taken within a > fraction of a second of one another, seeing that the camera > was set to AEB and continuous shooting, so I can't imagine > what would have been able to go wrong in such a brief interval! Think of how you can easily spoil an exposure by shaking the camera in as little as 1/10 of a second.
