Pawel, Daniel's suspicions proved to be well founded. Your images can be stitched very well, which would suggest your head setup was satisfactory. There's a 6000x3000 jpeg at http://ge.tt/4lsO3Uk1/v/0?c Some minor parallax problems can be seen, though, on examining the images in detail. NB.

It could be that your no-parallax-point is not set correctly but more likely is that your workflow in setting the control points and optimising the geometry is the real issue. I once took a whole batch of panos with the NPP 10mm offset to the right (I forgot I'd omitted the camera mounting plat

There are dozens of stitching errors in the Norwich panorama, both at the horizontal level and the zenith. It's possible that the zenith errors, despite being further away, are not unconnected with the efforts made to align the images lower down. If you care to make a set of images available
