Finish settings:

  finish {           // (---surface finish---)
    ambient 0.00
    diffuse 0.44
    specular 0.0     // shiny
    reflection 0
  }

However, I agree that the shadow looks too uniform and should be darker
under the planets.  I have radiosity brightness level set to 1.  Do you
think that's too high?  The entire image looked a little washed-out
originally, so I post-processed it (gasp!) to increase the contrast.
Anyone have suggestions on how to fix this in POVRay?

Thanks!
