I made a lot of equirectangular / cubic panoramas over the last years, but this is one of my first oneshot equirectangulars.
I used a small (4cm diameter) christmastree-mirrorball made of plastic. It is not perfect round and the surface is also not perfect, but it allows to reach scenes I can't photograph with a SLR/Fisheye.
The software I used was Photoshop with the Panorama Tools Plugin.
