area_light _x_,_y_, 9,9 adaptive 0 jitter orient circular


It takes a 9-by area light before smooth shadows are acheived. With AA, only 10
secs more over a 4-by.

now for some pesky stars

remaining 160 sats

but without a telescope It may not be easy to check this stuff.

thinking something like ...

* needs only
  ; meanAnomoly M,  d=0 on epochday
  ; M = m * d + L - p
  ; so L = ?
  */  // val(a_rray[id][2]) = Anomoly

adjusted by Pw and Pnode

previously the file was in miles and would be wrong.

correction:

thinking something like ...

* needs only
  ; meanAnomoly M,  d=0 on epochday
  ; M = m * d + L - p
  ; so L = ?
  */  // val(a_rray[id][2]) = Anomoly

File tested and found 2 errors. That is all with absolutely zilch interest in
this. 160 positions calc'ed in about .4 seconds.

buh bye

only minor anomoly adjustments left if I understand this.
