On that panorama, I selected the images in my file manager and ran Hugin's Generate PTO tool. I use Linux, I don't know if Windows has that capability.

Then I went to the panorama preview, clicked on the Assistant button, then clicked on the align button, and got a 360-deg panorama.

I think if you open the PTO in Hugin, you should get the same pano. Hugin may tell you that alignment or control points have changed, or something like that, but I think that's something you can ignore.

I think I added some points manually, because there were a couple of image pairs that didn't have any control points.

Adding horizontal lines to the images that have horizons, then running Align again, should level the images in the panorama. I didn't try that in the PTO file I sent. It improved things quite a bit in my first try at the panorama, but that one only gave me a 180-deg panorama.

I have a TIFF image of it, if you're interested. It comes to 2274x3494 (not cropped), 189MB. On the left end is one image, then a black area that shades into the next image. I have no idea what caused that.

Enjoy your dinner!

Thanks David.  When my panorama was in that shape, I spent a lot of time with Photoshop “fixing” things.  But my real question is whether this one will be “sharper” than the one I produced.  Do you think if I open that pto file in Hugin I’ll get the same panorama?  I’ll try that in a while.  Did you create a tiff image?  Right now I have to go buy dinner.

Did you let Hugin find control points?  Did you add any manually?

More questions later.

Sam.

I didn't use any horizontal lines in this one. They would have helped fix the wavy horizon.

Attaching a screen shot and the PTO file that produced it. Neither of them came out as straight as the original one you produced.

Great David.  Please attach it.  I'd like to see it.

    No problem.

    I've never made a 360-deg pano. I don't know how to make one at
    all. So I might simply not be doing it right in the first place.
    But the second time I tried, I got a 360-deg panorama from it.

    I screwed up.  I was pretty sure I had only included the *_1

    Sorry 'bout that!

    But the 12 _1 files: 0_1, 30_1, 60_1 ...,  should make a 360
    degree pan.

        Yes, I used your zip file, the one in the link below. It
        doesn't have 12 images in it, it has 14.

        These two images don't have any mountains or ocean in them:
        120_3.jpg and 210_3.jpg. The 210_3 image has a part of the
        same beach that's already covered in the 210_1 image.

        I think the *_3 images aren't needed, and apparently you
        removed them from some other zip file you uploaded to
        Google Drive?

        I've never made a 360-deg panorama, so I got a 180-degree
        partial one.

        David:  That’s confusing.  The 12 images: 0_1 through
        330_1, all have either the ocean or mountains on the
        horizon.  Did you use the zip file that had all 12
        images?  If some of those 12 images were removed, the
        panorama wouldn’t have been complete?

        When I tried the Hugin Assistant, it found control points
        on all of them. I don't know anything about using
        Translation. I did eventually get sort-of straight
        horizon but only after removing two images that were
        mostly building foundations that had no horizon as part
        of them.

            Thanks Carl. Any idea why the optimizer tab only
            shows up then?  I spent hours trying to get the
            optimizer tab to appear  There are so many things
            that I just do not understand. I don’t understand how
            people learn all these options.

            Indeed it couldn't find points for those images.
            The Optimizer tab pops up when you have Optimize \
            Geometric \ Custom Parameters selected.

                experience?  Did Hugin tell you that it couldn’t
                find any CPs for 120_1 & 150_1?  Did the
                Optimizer tab appear? Did the stitcher report
                that some images didn’t belong to the set?

                    To be clear, I am hoping that someone in
                    the community will take the 12 images in
                    this zip file and try to create a panorama
                    using Hugin. When I do that, I get strange
                    error messages that I do not understand.
                    The resulting panorama won’t be
                    satisfactory for SkySafari, but at least
                    I’ll find out what’s causing the errors.
