You are rotating the camera around the y-axis!
You would like to rotate it around the vertical axis through the bowl's center.
Translate the model center to origo, rotate, and translate back again:
translate -<400,-54,400>
rotate <0,360*clock,0>
translate <400,-54,400>
Look at the end of the POV file for model center:
// Center: <400,-54,400>
The easiest way to create rotations is to rotate the model and leave
the camera and lights static:
object { bowl_dot_ldr
rotate <0,360*clock,0>
#if (version >= 3.1) material #else texture #end { Color7 } }
But it gives a different effect.
