All the 817 images that compose the panorama were taken over 5 months (!). The distortions, stitching problems and perspective issues are in the original that NASA released. I had to choose whether to render it as cylindrical or spherical projections in KRpano, so I chose spherical (they both look the same...)
I imagine NASA has far more elaborate images than what was released; it looks like they could learn about making interactive panoramas even from Google.
