After trying various stitching software, I decided it's easier to do in 
photoshop, and I use this to scan and stitch my Noblex pans, 1/2 at a time.

Open both images.
Check their measurements in pixels.
File/New and create a image that's a tad higher than both images and a tad 
wider than the combined image will be. IOW if each image is 400 x 600 
create a new image 410 x 1210.
Take the first image, do a Select/All, then Edit/Copy. Close this image, 
you're finished with it.
Select the new empty image and do an Edit/Paste. That dumps the first image 
into the new file.
Repeat for the second image.
Now, using the Move tool, align each image within the new file until the 
desired results are achieved.
When satisfied, do a Layers/Flatten.
Crop any remaining white space and save.
