It's been awhile since I've posted here since I've been using instagram and G+ to post pictures but for this post I need more space to go on about a few things.  The first thing is Panoramas.  I really like making panorama pictures.  It's nice to be able to go to scenic places with a 50mm or 35mm lens and still feel confident that I'll be able to get not only a wide view but a wide view with a great deal of detail and low distortion.  Even with a wide lens there are landscapes that are just too wide to capture with one shot. A panorama in it's simplest form is a fairly easy thing to build.  You only need a sequence of overlapping photos taken from a stable platform of some kind and software to stitch them together.  My A6000 can build a panorama in camera but I prefer to take a series of raw files and use the panorama feature in Lightroom.  I generally set my camera vertically in order to get more pixels in the up-down direction and I generally try to keep the number of shots to five or less.  The reason being that I am limited to a 13 x 19 inch format when I print.  It's possible to make a wider image (six or seven shots wide), however, when that image gets scaled to fit the 13 x 19 paper it gets squeezed vertically and I end up with massive amounts of white space at the top and bottom of the print negating the advantage gained by positioning the camera vertically.
Learning How to do all this is not hard.  Do a Google search on "panorama tutorial" and Google will come up with about 663,000 results in 0.54 seconds.  Lightroom makes it dead easy to select images and merge to panorama and that is my tool of choice.
I'm posting two panoramas I built from pictures I took at Blackwater Falls Park in West Virginia along with a shot of the camera setup as it was when I took the images.

Four images. Lindy Point Overlook. A6000 Sony 10-18mm

Six or seven images.

The setup I used for the two shots above.

Most tutorials will instruct you to use a tripod.  I prefer to use a monopod just because it's simpler, lighter and makes a better walking stick than a tripod.   In good light it's almost as effective as a tripod.  I set the exposure to manual and take some test shots to get the exposure I want.  With a wide lens like this a one time  focus should be all you need but I think for these shots I had the focus with shutter option set and the camera did an auto focus with every image.  I have the rule of thirds composition wires enabled in the viewfinder and I use them to maintain the camera at some semblance of level.  As far as the overlap between shots I just spot a landmark at the right side of the frame ( shooting from left to right ) and make sure that landmark is in the left side of the next image.  I make sure I keep the monopod planted at the same spot for the series of shots and that is about it until I can get the images imported into Lightroom.
As far as the two scenes I've posted You can see how the wider photo is also squeezed vertically.  The handrails along the bottom of the wider image are an example of how perspective can be changed by stitching together images taken by a camera that is being pivoted about a central axis.  Those rails should be angled in the opposite direction.  I was standing in the corner of the observation deck with the monopod pinned in the juncture of the front and left handrails.   To get a closer approximation of how the handrails looked from where I was standing you would have to crease the print down the middle folding the left and right edges inward.
The point I'm trying to make is if you want to make a panorama set the camera vertical and take fewer shots.  Plan for the size print you want to make and if you want to get technical about it you can estimate pixel size of the image and go from there figuring print size. 
Have fun.
