Mark, I don't know much about this #4 question, either. Apparently, any lens-body combo has an axis about which it can be panned that minimizes distortion for reconstituting panoramas. I think "nodal point" is part of the technical discussion. This is a thing I've read about and couldn't grasp. And, more to the point, see how to test and implement. Believe me, question #4 I would not have asked of just anyone, but your shots give me the impression you're about 25 years ahead of me, so I thought I'd ask it. BTW, Luminous Landscape has a nice article on stitching panoramas, and the meat of that article was the basis for my other questions.
And now the _ultimate_ new question: Are you pleased with your first effort? Looked good to me in computer resolution on your site.

No, not at all. Never even thought about it. BTW - what is the 'true center?' of a lens? =:-0
