The more control points you get, the better it will turn out. Whatever you do, don't leave a control point that is not matched up. Talk about a weird picture. lol It only takes one too. First thing, load your pics. I usually load them in the sequence they need to be matched up with. When you have one image on the left, a different but connectible image on the right, do one control point manually. After the first one, you can pick a point on one image and it will find it on the other automagically. If it gives a error, add the point then delete it. That's where the weird pictures can come in. This varies but I try to get at least 10 or 12 points. That is a minimum. If you have the patience and really want a good picture, get 30 points or more. I would suggest reading a howto with screen shots. If you need help, let me know. It's been a while but I will try. Oh, hugin can be complicated to. It has a lot of settings and options.
