Thanks Alain! Yes, sorry, I had to wait to see the scene posted so I didn't know
it had line wrapped. You will get accustomed to that if you look at more of
these text scene postings!  ;-)
Wrong line wrap is (mostly) okay, just a mess to read. It's those commented
parts that will error.

Wish you good luck adjusting the color bands of the atmosphere. I couldn't get
it any better myself after a couple hours so I gave up trying anymore. I think
it's because of the gradient y mixed with spherical warp, not really sure.
Just that every time I moved the index values it changed in ways (both altitude
AND color!) I wasn't able to get correct like I wanted.

And then there's that obscuring the background or shadowed objects with media...
I've always had trouble it. I hope you get it done!

Bob
