I've run into this problem, and my caveman-sophistication led me simply to
translate the object a little to put it back in line with the look_at
coordinates. Even so, I often have to change the "PCT" value to 5 or 10 to
accommodate all of my supercool renderings in the image window.
But now that I think about it, I guess that would work best if your whole scene
is a single object, so it's hardly a panacea.

That sounds nifty. I'll have to check it out (and I'd like to experiment with
more extensive atmospheric effects (more liberal media, perhaps.))
