Just a few more things to add: the base, already designed, a scale on the
celestial equator, and Zodiac glyphs on the band of the ecliptic.  The
radiosity is still a little flat, but I think just decreasing the
brightness and bumping up reflection off the brass will fix that.  'Still
need a cool place to display it.  Maybe a room like in Albrecht Durer's
"St. Jerome in his Study."  Light streaming through mullioned windows,
alchemist's glassware, and lots of dark wood and cushions.  Suggestions?

Did you use a modeler, or Povray SDL? Very nice, either way.

Thank you.  Entirely in SDL with no includes.  Render just over 10 hours,
but I hope to reduce that with some fine tuning of the adaptive sampling.

Looking nice, Lonnie, but use a font that won't give you slashed zeroes, or
use the letter 'O'. You might want to boost brilliance on your brass: have
a look at the range in metals.inc.

I tried for quite some time to get a boost in the overall brightness of my
brass.  I turned off radiosity and there it was.  It seems that a really
brilliant metallic finish with the radiosity required I turn DOWN
brilliance to about .6 and raise diffuse.  I gave up on fonts - going to
use height_fields for all my lettering.
