I just came across this free Microsoft utility for creating panoramas:

.

From their website:

What is Image Composite Editor?
Microsoft Image Composite Editor is an advanced panoramic image stitcher. The application takes a set of overlapping photographs of a scene shot from a single camera location and creates a high-resolution panorama incorporating all the source images at full resolution. The stitched panorama can be saved in a wide variety of formats, from common formats like JPEG and TIFF to multi-resolution tiled formats like HD View and Silverlight Deep Zoom.

I also used Hugin before. Maybe this article is of interest to you (Hugin is also mentioned in the article):

Great! Thanks!
I've just downloaded and used it, to make my first-ever pano, and the result is excellent in my opinion.
Used it for a 7-image set covering almost a 180° view.
This is from my recent Concours d'Elegance show:

The program seems to do it automatically.

Simply open the images of your pano, and it goes to town. Very Happy
