The hard part is making it work and look good. The file wraps around the inside of a sphere. The top and bottom blend into a single point like its being pulled into a blackhole. All black becomes transparent and reveilles stars behind it. So its all about finding where to place your image in the right resolution and how to not distort it. Even I have trouble with finding the right balance.
