I had the same problem with my quintiple star system (or sextuple, if you count a brown dwarf as a star). I solved (partially) the solar system browser problem by making the stars separate, without orbits. Didn't work with those twin K stars, the Salamandras, which had a half-system each and some ci...

There can also reasonably be a largish circumbinary gas/ice giant in an outer orbit.

As far as I remember, there are no M-class subgiants because when mid-mass stars leave the subgiant stage and go red giant they are still K-class, and low-mass stars are a) too long-lived to leave the main sequence by now and b) do not go subgiant and giant at all, instead becoming the theoretical b...

No funny effects at all. Celestia behaves as normal.

Here are the screenshots. When I say huge, I really mean it! The captions in Russian say 0.95386 ly for the first picture and 1.1144 for the second one.

PS: AMD has long withdrawn any support for Mobility Radeon 9700 @ XP. Ditto for LG and LP60 notebook.

I guess it is really what I see, only on my system the embiggening effect is much stronger. In scaled disc mode, the stars appear like I'm damn close to Trident, inside the innermost planet's orbit. I'll post the screenshots when I'll make it to my home computer. I now realize the effect is inevitab...

I've encountered this bug when I started to add fictional stars. Close up they look all right, but from a distance of about 1 to 10 LY they appear as freakishly huge bright discs the size of pennies when viewed in any mode but point. Real (existing) HIP stars do not exhibit this behaviour. Is there ...
