DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: Hand-coded CSG in the Mac version of POV-Ray, with hand-coded textures and items for the competition. The ball is a hollow object; the planet a second object, and the telescope (with tripod) a third (parameterized for facing and elevation of the telescope). The nebulous clouds use the granite pigment with white at 0.50 in the color map. The telescope works if you put the camera right next to the eyepiece!
