+ :alt: Tilted perspective
+
+
+Tilted Perspective is similar to :ref:`nsper` (``nsper``) in that it simulates a
+perspective view from a hight. Where ``nsper`` projects onto a plane tangent to
+the surface, Tilted Perspective orients the plane towards the direction of the
+view. Thus, extra parameters azi and tilt are required beyond `nsper``'s ``h``.
+As with ``nsper``, ``lat_0`` & ``lon_0`` are also required
+for satellite position.
