I see MS ICE does a great job at stiching spheres for Windows users.

What are Mac users on here using as an alternative? Anything good/free?

Hello, I'm using Lightroom to stitch, then Photoshop to make the sphere. Find the whole process very easy. See this thread.

I looked around and tried some of the free software in the link below (not all are Mac).  I ended up purchasing PanoramaStudio Pro.  It can generate what you need for a viewer that you can load into a Web Server as static files.  The Website viewer is smart and if you view on a phone or tablet it will display very much like a virtual reality (you move the phone to change the viewpoint).  On a computer you use your mouse.  It also comes with a stand alone viewer as an app for your Mac and I assume Windows.  The Mac viewer is not separately installed but you can open the .app bundle and extract it as a standalone program.

Hugin worked pretty good but it is slow..  Some have photo editing tools like the ability to adjust exposure on parts of the pano shot.  It seems many of the tools (free or paid) don't always have the most intuitive interfaces.

My workflow has a cost, but luckily I work in education so get access to the software for free.
Import pano images to lightroom for processing (little bit of colour adjustment, levels, sharpness etc) export to working folder
Import processed images into autopano giga checking horizon levels etc and either output as a little planet.

If I just want a quick image for social media I also use DJI Go to stitch and then use Theta to make the output images/video.

I have to admit, the spark being able to capture panoramas is a great thing but it really need to use bracketed shots or at the minimum HDR for each image, i find sometimes it will either blow the sky or underexpose the ground.

One hint I can give you is to take a photo of the sky while your spark is up there if you can. If not then use the spark pointed upwards. You can use this sky image to help fill the top of your pano later. I use my go-pro with its widest view to grab a shot.

Affinity is great, half the price of Photoshop and can get professional results.
