hdr miniplanets aka houston, we need an emergency landing

these days i'm experimenting again with planets and hdr. there's a lot of techniques to learn, and i'm searching a sort of standard workflow for my tastes/equipment.

for example i have always some difficulties to do 360panos + hdr with the sigma 4,5mm because of the black around the circle. but today i've tried to merge to hdr first, but without tonemapping, then stitched the .hdr files together in a single hdr panorama, and only at the end, to tonemap the whole panorama. seems that the results are not bad
