IDL map_set question [message #8907]

I am fairly new to IDL and am having trouble with the map_set function
making an orthographic projection. I can do the default, but in the
reference guide it says "If the keyword LIMIT is not set, the region of
the globe mapped to the UV plane is the hemisphere around the center of
the projection." I am doing a plot with the North pole centered and
would like to limit the plot at 30deg, but I can't figure out how to make
the LIMIT keyword work properly for this projection style. Folowing the
reference guide directions for LIMIT I keep getting floating point
errors. Can anyone help?
