OK, I feel better now. I was at Evergreen last night (and will be
tomorrow) and saw the "jumps" in the image on the laptop. The entire
planet would suddenly move 1/2 planet width but wasnt going through the
usual "flattening/oblonging" routine. Must be related to "cell" size.
I thought maybe the seeing was worse there but this fits Richards
description exactly.
