Incredible image !
Do you do the stitching in Photoshop, Photoshop plug-in, or other software? (Sorry I'm not a bona fide landscape photographer, but I dabble in it occasionally.)
I did this in Photoshop using photomerge which is under edit>automation>photomerge. The key is good starting images and the merge become painless. It helps to have 16GB of ram.
I shot these at a long focal length of 78mm in manual mode, same exposure for each image. I rotated the tripod head on a perfectly level tripod with lots of overlap. I used 9 shots but could have used 5 with less overlap.
After they are stitched, I need to crop the ragged edges, flatten and process. The light was such that the processing was easy.
I made 5 other panos this day and it was easy for all of them.
Here is a 17TSE shot single image to show the scene another way. I had to use full upshift to avoid too much foreground so it includes too much sky. The mountain detail holds up remarkably well in the 17mm shot compared to the panos.
I consider a shot like this a curiosity. When you print something that is only 10 inches high, it still looks small even if it is 50 inches or so wide.
