Comparison with AMR

Both with recombination/cooling, 2e13 flux, no Lyman alpha cooling

323 + 2 levels AMR

Lineouts

Circles are 323 + 2 levels AMR, triangles are 1283 fixed grid. The 1283 fixed grid is 200 frames shorter - the last frame is repeated. Day side looks nearly identical - night side differs, probably due to lower resolution.
