Hi Dennis
2 Megapixels will be sufficient. The final practical size of the picture sections wiil be either 1024x1024 or 512x512 so 2 megapixels will give plenty of resolution to work with,
Yes placing the camera on a tripod at you normal viewing position is the way to go. Take lots of pictures I suggested 15 as mimumum but my landscape is made from sections of 44 pictures!.
If you have items in the foreground that stand out take more pictures as double images will appear in the preliminary panorama and one will need to be digitally erased. If you look at mine in the west there is a mast in the forground that needed to be totally removed and then re-inserted, also there were guy wires for the TV aerial to be removed.
