"For applying them on to a sphere it may be a good idea to leave a little bit of margin area between your objects and the top and bottom edges of the plane, because those regions are compressing down to just a single point on the sphere and probably creating some degenerate geometry there.

I did leave a small space on the top and right side of the flat plane and it seemed to work OK but I could see how it could cause problems with the top/bottom of the target mapped sphere.

This is a dome friends and I made before the days of 3D.;)
