Will do more work on the sky - I did quite a lot of smoothing and 
blurring where joins were visible but I can see more needs to be done. 
I did the stitching just using Paint Shop Pro, no fancy tricks.  I have 
tried using PanoTools before but found it incredibly difficult to get 
anything remotely good out of it.  I may give it another go for 
stitching together wide-angle photos, but for these 135mm shots 
alignment was not a problem - distortion must be minimal.

Thanks for the comments!
