An adaptive primary modeled in MegaPOV



Though positioned horizontally, this primary is adapted to sunlight coming from the foreground at a zenith distance of 75°. Notice that the adaptation makes the rim look a little like a potato chip. Simulated in MegaPOV; the Mini is CC BY Gilles Tran.

The scene description is posted here.
