I did set it at 1 since I use method 3 and I read (here, last line:
http://www.povray.org/documentation/view/3.6.2/421/ ) that's what one should do.
But thanks for the tip ;-)

That's right. But I will actually set it dynamically along my animation frames
because the right value for out-of-atmosphere is about 500 while deep in the
atmosphere is already good with 20 or so. Thus setting it dynamically with a
function of the altitude will greatly reduce the overall rendering time.


Thanks for your help!
It's great to see that POV's community is still so active after all these years
(I first played with it more than 10 years ago). Keep it going! :-)
