damo:
Is it really a sphere, like you're trying to align two maps on a
globe?
I'm not sure how to do it but I remember seeing these and perhaps a
Mobius transformation or the Reimann sphere concept might be a lead
that might help you.

Here's a really cool video that shows how you can take a spherical
image and map it to a plane:

The full version and more explanation is available at the professor's
web site:

Then, once your spherical images have been mapped to the plane, maybe
you can align the images in the plane using more traditional
registration techniques, and then map back onto your sphere.
