Thank you Josh. I agree. Would be better still if real orthographic cameras
existed.

I meant to take my camera with me when I went out there a couple days ago
and simply forgot to grab it as I went out the door. Got pictures tonight,
though, and image file attached is almost the same view I'm trying to
render. The moment I saw it again I realized I jotted down notes a bit
hastily and made mistakes. Nothing quite like a photograph for accuracy.
Well, almost... since this was nighttime and no tripod to do long exposures
with so my photos have been severely post-processed in order to see them
clearly.
