I run into the opposite problem; I render astronomical objects, and
routinely run afoul of the maximum draw limit fudge factor where objects
that are a long way away are ignored completely. (My moon pictures, for
example, have to have the sun artifically close or it doesn't show up.)

What's this limit actually for? I can see that the lower limit has some
utility in order to cope sanely with rounding errors, but I can't think
of any reason for an upper limit.
