I'm digital now but I use to use an F1.  One of my 'fun' lens was the tilt and shift.  I could T&S individual images to compose pretty respectable 120-180 degree shots. (I was into archetecture so never needed to go much beyond 180).  The result was not fisheyed or rap-around but more like steping back 300 yards and taking a telephoto shot.  Thing was I was 20' away.  That gets me to wondering.  What length lens are you using?

If you have a problem stitching some of the shots you might want to try different focal length settings.  I think that if you use 80mm (on land) that gives you the least edge to edge tilt and shift.  Only problem is that you'd need to take shots at closer intervals.

Wish I was back there now, I'd love to help with your U/W tests (setting up shooting lanes, and test patterns) just to see the results and see how far you can push the optics and software.

Imagine a shot of a wreck (or a large section of reef) with purfectly clear water and no backscatter - represented in a single shot!  I've not dove the Oriskiny or touched her guns but could you imagine being able to present that to others?  I do see your excitement!
