Electroglyph, it depends on the focal length of your lens. Wide angles are preferable but the idea is for each frame to overlap the previous by at least 30 degrees so that you can get enough overlapping detail to make a proper stitch. Exposure should be consistant to have as little color cast problems as possible.
Thuleke, Stitcher 3.1 is a good program and it was also on the August 2004 issue of Computer Arts magazine also for free and is where I got my copy from. You can try Dr. Helmut Dersch's PanoTools (Freeware command line plug-ins), comes with Photoshop plug-ins, do a Googles search. Several frontend gui applications are on the market some costing as much as $60 USD. Heres more info:
