The dark vertical lines are produced by suboptimal blending of the pictures. You want to use something like enblend or smartblend for good results. Programs that use smartblend/enblend include Hugin, Autopano, and Autopano Pro. Give those programs a whirl.

yea smartblend is awesome at blending out those darker areas
autopano sift + hugin + smartblend = awesome panoramas

Looks like you have some vignetting going on there.

You can correct this in the individual shots before stitching and it should look better.

its not that great of a shot, it was just something so I can "practice" taking a shot of that sort

The question is how can i avoid the vignette ?

I would also recommend that you lock your exposure settings after the first picture, that will make sure you get the same exposure on all photos.

Thats crucial as well...yet I still forget to do it at times.

Back out of the telephoto. Better glass will have little discernible vignette.
