Uninteresting as you may find it, as an astronomy lecturer I DO find it
interesting and VERY useful to have these models!

One image map? The Earth took FIVE layered textures plus a media for the
atmosphere!
All my images are hand scripted with the Earth alone taking three full pages
of script.

The starmap was created from the Yale Bright Star Catalogue and converted to
a POV include file using a Visual Basic application.

Unless you have a more constructive comment I suggest you stop having a go
at people who HAVE mastered image_maps!
