don't worry...
go and shoot with an 8mm many pictures from the tower platform. The
offset from center could be 10 or 30m don't worry if you are high
enough and no close objects are near, you will be surprised how easy
it will be and how good Ptgui will handle it for you, however in order
to prevent from getting an upward curved horizon, you have to cheat
a bit in the equirectangular by displacing the horizon to the middle
line.
I have done several tower panos with very large offsets from the
center here some examples:
