I haven't contributed much lately to File Sharing here but have been meaning to. I created this one because there was an issue of moving a standard sized Planet object further out and it does what I call "exiting the known Terragen Universe". That is, it went outside the background inverted sphere and becomes no longer visible. My simple solution was to reduce the planet's diameter, then that of the rings in proportion.
It's fairly basic - no details on the planet or the two disc object rings. If the planet is moved in any direction, it affects the tilt of the rings and they will need adjustments accordingly, as desired.
They're all wasted!

Cool. This looks good, and neat solution. Have you tried enlarging the background?

Thanks, Ulco - I certainly did enlarge the BG sphere at first, but it caused a noticeable loss of luminance of the "starfield". I'm kind of a stickler for details sometimes...
