How to shoot a busy scene without ghosts

[OzzieBruce]

Hi all and thanks for making all your advise so freely available, as a green newbie I find all your topics and comments very educational. I am plannig to travel through South East Asia quite a lot over the next 6 months and would love to capture as many good panos as possible, but at a busy event what is the best way to capture the full 360 when people are all moving, I am using a EOS20D with a Sunex 185' fisheye on a KingPano head so I shoot off 3 shots (bracketing + Raw) at 3 different angles 0,120,240 but by the time I get around there is a ghost or 2 or more, I am still very green but hoping that the more I practice the better better I will become, (the more I delete the better I will become)

Am I correct in thinking that the least amount of photos taken the less ghosts?

Three captures sounds like a good idea, to catch the most sharpness of the lense - often they are little more unsharp near the edges. The ghosts you clone away, or mask away, in photoshop after stitch. Then it is good to have a little overlap to play with.
