I found the Glare macros on Tim's old site, through the Wayback Machine:

https://web.archive.org/web/20031008070348/http://www.digitaltwilight.de:80/no_lights/download.html#Glare%20Macros

Interestingly, as there was a discussion not long ago here about an even 
distribution of points on a sphere, Tim provides a macro to do just 
that. Look for ESR, below the Glare macros.

The render time is a passion killer. ;-)

I would scale up the uncalmly sky a bit, maybe somewhere between 1.5 and 2.


The scene looks amazingly good, my congratulations.

I would add a very slight blur to almost the entire scene background,
but really just a very slight blur. Like dust (humidity) in the air
causes a slight blur.

Possibly. However, I want to keep as close to the original as possible.

Thanks. Took a lot of sweat over the years ;-)

Again, keeping as close to the original as possible. However, I shall 
keep this in mind for a hypothetical next version.
