Very nice :)
You really do have a very nice - style - where everything is neat, and _smooth_,
and the textures are very well suited to the model.
Perhaps if you have a few moments at some point, you could jot down some notes
about how you go about planning and assembling your models and scenes.
I'm sure there would be something for everyone to learn - both new users and
experienced Povvers alike.

Oh.
You got bit by THAT bug, did you? :D
I found it to be very educational myself. The only part that I really didn't
work out was how to set everything into it's proper starting position "at epoch"
- so everything just sort of started at "0 degrees" and went around from
there.... because by that point I was getting _tired_ ;)
Unraveling the orbital mechanics was a little confusing at first, but I think
the biggest, and most unexpected PITA was trying to figure out how to unpack the
damned dates from the code they use... :|
