The problem is that the resolution of the grid is beyond the 
precision of a float.  Even though you define your variables
as double, we use floats when defining the spatial domain. 
One option would be to use a different unit (e.g. arcseconds)
for the values which would allow finer grained resolution but 
without the loss of precision.
