What is the relationship among these repos: https://github.com/JohnVV/MyCelestiaBuild - Celestia 1.7.x?? with focus on Linux?? https://github.com/CelestiaProject/Celestia - Celestia 1.7.x?? with focus on Windows?? - it already has 29 forks https://github.com/CelestiaProject/Celestia/network https://...

Very nice pack! I'll give a try on my Mac and report back

How do you generate the SSC files, especially for the exoplanets?

Thanks

That's sad to see.

Does anyone know what was the process to update the extrasolar.ssc file? I would like to create a tool to keep it in sync with exoplanet databases.

Any updates on the development roadmap? Are they some place else?

I have a few questions, as I am confused by the number of code repositories and builds for Celestia Is the latest code at https://github.com/CelestiaProject/Celestia? Can it be use to do a Mac build and if yes, what is the process? Why not make full use of github.com features, such as tags and relea...

It would be nice to rebase to https://github.com/CelestiaProject/Celestia, to avoid too much forking and effort duplication

Is there a Celestia 1.7 for Mac? I for one stopped using Windows a long time ago.

I am anxiously waiting to see what's new?! There was no release post 1.6. What is next? 1.7, 2.0?

Hi all, I know that there are already commercial software that can point a telescope to a certain body or location in the sky. I am wondeing how feasible would be to create a plugin/extension to Cellestia that could do the same thing I for one believe that would be very cool. Such a plugin could bec...

Oh boy!

I didn't realize I am going to start such a thread

Great ideas everyone!

I agree that Celestia with the addition of certain features could match Stellarium. It already is much much more.

Hi all, After playing with Stellarium for a while, here is a thought: How about merging the two? It would be cool to travel with Celestia to Mars or a exoplanet, then look at the sky with the Stellarium technology. I can image this would be a big task, but they are both C++ applications, hoste on so...

Thanks guys!

Very helpful info!

Hi all, I have two total newbie questions and I could not find them posted and/or answered on the forum 1. What is the most common tool and procedure for creating a cmod or 3ds model file? 2. Are there any public astronomy sites describing accurately the shapes of bodies, especially asteroids? Thank...

What about the ship model?
Or the model and orbit of the asteroid Itokawa (1998SF36)?
Anyone?

I agree with Christophe here.

There are so many people on the boards and Celestia is such a great application.

Why not allow a larger group of people contribute?

I know that many times quantity is the opposite of quality, but I don't think that is true for open source.
