Thanks, I'll try that, but I don't understand your description. The view origin is fixed in space as it is. Since the field of view is only 8 degrees horizontally, I figured the .9 degrees would shift the target upwards by about 1/6 the height of the image. That's what I'm trying to do, anyway. In any case, I'll try what you suggested tomorrow when I'm at my computer, and see for myself what it does.
