Didn't you hear? There's a huge asteroid about to hit in 3 minutes, but it's cloudy here so i'll have to watch it on my computer... :wink:

jrobert, set the FOV exactly as I said: 0 0 ' 17.0" NOT 17.0 0' 0"
good luck ! :twisted:

That happens to any object when you go really far away & zoom in really close... Dunno why but everything just gets jerky like that for some reason- maybe it's because of the huge distances involved...?

It also happens when traking an object at a very low FOV.
