Despite the earlier talk, Celestia can't currently use SPICE files directly.

How about indirectly? Any ideas on how that could be done or whether or not anyone has developed anything to convert from SPICE into something Celestia can work with?

So are you saying that a series of capture and wait commands is the only way to do it?

I dont think I was clear enough in my question (or perhaps I am not fully understanding the response). I am trying to run a celx script and at the same time be capturing images every X seconds without repeating the original celx script. Does the above response still hold or does the clarification ch...

Is there any way to have Celestia capture an image every X seconds? Other than simply pasting in a bunch of capture commands (which would not be on precise time intervals), I cant figure any way to do it. Any help is greatly appreciated.

By SPICE I mean JPL SPICE kernels

I was searching today and saw that a couple years ago there was talk of adding SPICE compatability into celestia, but couldnt find anything about whether or not it was actually done.

Anyone have any information on this topic?

thanks

Upon trying to use the new commands, I get an error: "Unknown command name 'xxxxx' " .

I have version 1.3.2 and am running it on windows. What do I need to support the new commands?

thanks again and sorry for all of the questions.

I have not been able to find the CEL command to capture an image in the scripting guide that I have been looking at (which I believe is current). Does anyone have a link to a more current scripting guide that includes that command? Otherwise, could you give a shorte example of how the command is use...

Thanks for the info, that certainly does help. Also, is there any way to write a script that will capture screen shots at given intervals of time? I cant find anything in the scripting guide about how to capture images using a script.

thanks again

I need to find a way to output high definition still frame image sequences in celestia and am not sure exactly where to begin (and have tried searching the forums). Any help is greatly appreciated.
