Just a suggestion, mind you. I’m not sure which software you’re using to work with your images but you might want to look at a pincushion filter to eliminate some of your lens distortion. Gimp is good at this task but all the major editing tools have this facility.Report

Here’s my trick. When I’m working with a lens I know will create some distortion, I compose the frame with a big margin. These days, with images coming out of the camera so large, eleventy-dozen megapixels, cropping is no big deal.
So when I apply the pincushion filter, there’s room to crop it back to square.Report
