Well, one clever trick might be to use the panorama view trick. Switch to "panorama view" with for example 180° and not sperical view.

The only problem you will have is that you have to render it a lot bigger because the view is so much wider - height was the problem in my case. But when I enlarged the panoramic view in Photoshop so that it was the same as the normal view it fitted perfectly.
