For ICE, I did not correct vignette. Note:  For Hugin, I did not correct vignette either - and it created a beautiful pano - just with fewer pixels. I'm not sure what to say about overlap - again, ...

Thanks for your suggestions. I am going on a new journey. I also just realized the difference between "minimum focusing distance" and "working distance" - I think that is what was confusing me. The ...
