happens, in the meantime...

...I'm running one from just the other side of the first big sphere so  
you're looking inside; so you've got the reflections from the reflections  
from* :) The one I posted took about a week to render, it would have taken  
longer but after all the system restarts I cheated and switched on the  
fast Radiosity settings. I'll try rendering the internal one with the  
default and see what happens.
