I wrote a Photoshop action that produces these mirror spheres below out from
an euqirectangular panorama. As you can see are three sizes available.

Small covers 5% ,Big 8% and XXL 12% of panorama height (equirectangular projection)
Below you can see the region that will be covered with the mirrorball.
