it was working before I added the radiosity thats right.

it just klicked. So whats the deal with radiosity killing the atmosphere?

out at Saturn and cam-angle text is breaking up,

I dont know what could be close enough to camera to interfere.

boggles my gray matter

I mean, being progressive that node is moving. the axis or node would have an
epoch date, would it not?

the function does calc mean anomly and time, so it may already be there. long
and lat calc'ed from orbital plane not equator as with stars RaDec.

aligns close with latest eclipses and other planetarium I have found.

far as I can tell, its all correct.
Later,
aQ

Speechless eh?

I am impressed with this function.

The partial eclipse commenced with first umbral contact at 01:43 GMT. Totality
begins at 03:01 GMT and lasts until 03:51 GMT

ok heres a Q. what light has a spherical radius. area light is planar.

Sun's light radius is all that the eclipse-shots need then.

Sun radius of light =

just point at camera should keep shadows consistent where you see them, around
the camera.

#declare _x_ = vnormalize(vcross(y,campos))*val(elements[0][7])/5;
#declare _y_ = vnormalize(vcross(campos,_x_))*val(elements[0][7])/5;

#if (10)
light_source { 0 color rgb <.9,.9,.8>*1
    area_light _x_,_y_, 4,4 adaptive 0 jitter orient circular
    }
#else
light_source{
  <0,0,0>,
  0.8
}
#end

15 minutes into 3:15 duration eclipse.

The area_light is planar, true.
You can make it look as if it was spherical. Just add circular orient to it's 
definition. That way, the array will always be perpendicular to the ray from 
it's center to the point tested.
