as a target appearance, did some tweeking:

cloud norms
cloud brilliance to .6 (after learning 40=gone)
ocean color adjust
altitude adjust to match

I also determined that someone at around 3000 miles altitude with a 40 degree
lens took that picture.

This earth girl's atmo can't be seen very well in anaglyph so I posted her JPEGs

I should have written in previous post: "Try and find the moons in this image."
(because there's only one and its behind the planet, get it? oh nevermind)

Had to back up a day to catch the moon, what? You expect perfection *and* you
want it on time? Late again.

Poe shuffles off.

I was afraid the moon would ghost given size and distance:

#declare SatLabels = 10;    // 0 or 1 = off/on
thats how you find moons

Fast render without fancy stars and atmosphere

Heh, this is odd.

I just notice that to me this particular shot does have a 3D-ish "feel" to it
even though I'm *not* wearing anaglyph glasses (I don't even own any).

Maybe it has to do with me being considerably short-sighted, and wearing glasses
made of highly-refractive material, which also happens to exhibit significant
dispersion.

Now you mention it, I notice that as well, at least with the main planet 
in the shot.  I've got a very weak prescription for my glasses (the 
doctor said I didn't really need them but it might help with some 
headaches I was having - and it has - I'm nearsighted in one eye and 
farsighted in the other).

Here's the money idea:
(for everyone wearing glasses and therefore hates anagylphs)

You know the transparent pasties you get on the screen of a new cell phone?
Well something like that. That will re-stick multiple times, one red and one
blue.

This one was retouched because rings fail to transmit any media type
