Wow! Nice work! Already an application of TerraPOV's atmosphere!!! I did  
not expect someone uses it so early in the tutorials  :)
Perhaps, the atmosphere looks a bit too white, like the first atmosphere  
render FirstBlueSky. But I do not know how it is in reality. I'll try to  
have a look on the Net for outer space photos of Earth, even  
post-processed, just to have an idea.

Thanks again, Ive.

Bruno
