Pov docs say:
  Panoramic projection: This projection is called "cylindrical
equirectangular projection". It overcomes the degeneration problem
of the perspective projection if the viewing angle approaches 180
degrees. It uses a type of cylindrical projection to be able to use
viewing angles larger than 180 degrees with a tolerable lateral-
stretching distortion. The angle keyword is used to determine the
viewing angle.
