Hi Dave,
I used Photoshop to process my Milky Way Panorama http://www.iceinspace.com.au/forum/s...ad.php?t=87303 as well and it was a real pain. I (after much experimentation) found that the "Reposition Only" option produced the best result for the horizon. It kept it nice and flat. I then had to play around with the individual layer masks it created on each frame to fix the misaligned Milky Way. Be warned- it took me only 10-15 minutes to shoot the shots, and it took me about 5 hours to get it the way I wanted.
Good Luck. Hope this helps.
Cheers
Greg

If I add the extra frames in (about 50-60% of the full night sky), then it automatically becomes a fisheye projection - like Stellarium when completely zoomed out (see attached pic - or larger version here).

I'd be very interested in any suggestions?!
