LOL.

I use manual as well but I read just recently someone advised using aperture priority as it helped with the stitching and getting a smooth transition.

I have noticed on some of my panos that the sky colour can vary from deep blue to regular blue. I think I also had a polariser on which I think I won't use next time either.

They aren't that hard. Just handheld, lots of overlap, don't do panels with just plain sky (it can be like doing a jigsaw puzzle when stitching and one piece of plain sky looks the same as another). Portrait orientation is good as you keep some foreground in each panel which makes for easy stitching.

24-50mm focal length.

Greg.
