  Interesting comments.

  I don't have any problem viewing my 45mm
diameter circular fisheye images. They
do give the impression of a 3d scene
being reflected in a glass ball. I assume
because there is normal parallax in the
center of the image but at the edges
there is basically none (90 degrees off
to the side).

  Do you have any explanation of
why the edges are hard to stare
at?
