There is a limit, but 250,000 units should be well within that limit. You might
have the simensions of the objects wrong. I too have had the problem you
describe, the Moon seeming too small at correct distance & size, but 'a tiny
gray speck' seems a bit extreme. Unless you have a very large camera angle.
Do you absolutely _need_ to have the correct dimensions?
