Ok, so I'm an idiot. i accept that (at least in regards to povray. Ask me
one on programming...)

I'm trying to do something that must be VERY simple : map an image around a
globe.

I have ye-authentic satellite image of the earth as a JPG (I can change
format if req'd) and I have a sphere with a light on it. I'm having
problems combining the 2

Having read the help file entries on textures I can now make a sphere that#s
shiny, bumpy, and varies from area to area, but I can't get a picture ON my
sphere.

Any help greatly appreciated. If possible, a code snippet would be handy but
I'm sure I can work it out if someone points me in the right direction.

Thanks in advance
