Yes... there are nice programs that would let me turn the photos into a true panorama with the correct curved transformation. They do something like an inverse Gnomonic projection to put each photo onto the sphere, followed by a Miller cylindrical projection to make the panorama.

But frankly, I don't think it matters. I'm just trying to show people my base, and it doesn't matter if the picture isn't perfect. Heck, I can't even get the daylight to be consistent from one photo to the next, and the astronauts keep moving. Perfection is hopeless. (Or is that, "Resistance is futile"?)
