A question for better understanding: since 25 years, I keep track of the
rendered POV-Ray scenes posted in this group, and in my local archive of
POV-Ray images, I have several scenes posted by an "Ingo" back in 1999
to 2005... then a long hiatus until 2019. This "Ingo" appeared to be
Dutch... when did you actually start posting here as "ingo"? Its
somewhat confusing...
See you in Khyberspace!

Quite good, also when compared to the POV-Ray-generated imagery of Mars
(and his moons) with which I came up here in the late 2000s... and now,
we should join forces, ask Larry "Synergy" Fast for a permission to use
his quintessential "Phobos and Deimos go to Mars" (from his "Cords"
album of 1978 - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pnwfKSFCcyE) as
soundtrack for an animation showing exactly this: the two tiny
asteroidal moons of Mars sent crashing into the southern dry ice polar
cap by powerful deorbiting masses generated from "monopolium" (a concept
gleaned from "Dragon's Egg", the famous hard sci-fi novel by Robert L.
Forward) as initiation of a grand terraforming project...

Very nice!
A few years back I gather everything I could get from Mars. I had quite a time
exploring the surface and what you did was perfect!
Have fun!

Ehm ... what?
I work with povray since 2017 or so, not earlier, and I dont know when or if I
used the name "Ingo".
Coincidentally, my middle name is Ingo, but I will never admit that anywhere.
Summarizing:
Maetes != Ingo

I was without a job and really depressive when the two Rover Spirit and
Opportunity landed on Mars.
I followed them meter by meter.
Wonderful times.

O.k., so I know now how to regroup my stored image files of you and the
Dutch Ingo!

Just joking. Very good image.

Which dataset are you using?
These are from the MOLA 1/8 degree data
https://paulbourke.net/miscellaneous/mars/oneeight.html
Can't remember the date but I had early access to the data.

In use at the moment 16000x8000 for the surface-map and 32000x16000 DEM.
That maybe sounds big, but its not big enough :)
There was once a NASA website - mapaplanet.org - where you could choose an area
on Mars, and only download a surface and a DEM map from that specific area.
Unfortunately also with limited resolution, but I would like to have something
like that in high-res.
I created this video of Mars at the time, I think with 2000x2000 pixel maps.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0CAEoP-xg5U
If I could download this area with > 20000 pixels somewhere, then flying through
would be quite simple. It's not a question of povray-code or technology, just
data.
I searched several times for sources and tools, but never found what I needed.
Or the tools were so complicated that I couldn't find out if they were suitable.

Impressive - how much is it exaggerated vertically? And, yes, the
flickering might originate from using no anti-aliasing... try +a0.3!
