Ohh man, if you want insane lens flare, look up my first one (no, on second

I dunno, the lens flare seems alright to me.  Then again, I'm a little weird

I did.  I used SmokeGen for POV-Ray (through the Moray plug-in, of course
;-)  ) to make the smoke out the back.  You can see a little smoke coming
out the missile at the way lower-right portion of the image.  Not enough for
the effect I wanted, but I couldn't get the plug-in to work how I wanted it.

You should have seen my old asteroid image with higher compression.  Let's
