Hi, after reading GURL's post about the fusing abilities of APG2.05 I thought I'd give it a try.

The linked pano is created from 10 x 12MP 14bit RAW images, bracketed in Adobe raw from the raw files in six 0,5EV steps, from -2.5EV to 0EV. I also lowered the white balance with 500º Kelvin in each step from 4750 to 7250 compensating for the huge temperature difference between the sunlit parts and the shadows. Saved to 16bit tiffs with transparency masks resulting in 60 tiffs of 97,1MB each.

The complete render took about a whole day on my 'slow' Macmini. For rendering I used exposure fusion with anti ghost enabled and levels set to 0. Save to 16bit tiff. There is a 'pinch' visible at the top.
Some statistics:
