I still don't know what the effect on the value of ExposureFactor should be.


//  ExposureFactor A conversion factor between the luminance of the
//                 sky calculated (in cd/m2) to POV values. As the sky
//                 luminance can be very high (around 10000 cd/m2)
//                 then an ExposureFactor around 1e-5 will be needed to
//                 get a correct exposure when looking at the sky
