Shooting challenge

Nine pictures were taken within less than 10 seconds to reduce the problem of moving people and available space. This panorama was done without any post processing and exclusively using PTGui and the mask feature to force the seam lines to solve the unaligned images. The nadir image was optimized using the perspective control as it was slightly out of center, but forcing the alignment there would have shifted the main images too much.
