Hi Zeger,

I was consulting the POV-Ray docuemntion to find out more about 
interpolation, but the only thing I can read there is about the values 0, 1 
and 2, and what kind of interpolation they are indicating. But, much more 
basically, what is an interpol ation?

I am not English-speaking by birth, that's probably why I cannot discover 
the meaning of that word. However, I know about you that your advices are 
always very good, and just started a render in which i have added the 
interpolate 1 to the normal of each texture, let's see what comes out!

The reason for that relatively large file size is simply that I wanted to 
check the details exactly, especially the atmosphere. Smaller render sizes 
would make it quite difficult to see the atmosphere at the horizon.

Thanks, and greetings,

Sven

uhm, please post a smaller file in the future :-/

as for comments: you should use interpolate with your image_map
