There is only the main object, and I don't think the single bubbles in the
glass will get bounded extra, will they ???
If they will, than it is surely worth a try, but I don't like to stop it
now, because I'm at line 184 after 2d4h41m.

I want them all ! (also inner refraction and reflection)

I know, that it can't handle this scene, because it "only" works with the
alpha-buffer of the image ...
The things, seen in the sphere would look like an pigment on the sphere...

Sure ... I limited them to 2x2 I think ...

Group them ??? they're random ... I don't want to raise the parsetime by
doing an cluster-analasys in POV ;-)

We want to see it then ... *g*

PS: I'm worried about something other ... I got a paper in my Snailmail,
that the electricity
    will be down at 8th.Feb. ... The pic won't have finished till then ...
    Does the "+C"-Switch work together with "+SPxx" ???
    Does it work, when I have startet the original pic with "+SPxx"  ?
    I hope ...
