Hi all,

Love this program, I find it fascinating. I have a time zone question. Is there a way to view the time in Celestia in another time zone or offset that is not your local time or UTC? I know it can be calculated by simple math, but was just wondering if it was possible or planned.

Thanks Seldon for all the help and replies. Much appreciated. :) Well, that second link you provided works grand. Hmm, I'm not sure what to think. (rgvmars-dds.zip).

Hi everyone, I just downloaded this wonderful program. Wow! is all I can say. I'm definitely a newbie so far. After enjoying Google Earth for a while now, this is just great, though I know it's not satellite photos, at least at high resolutions. At any rate, one of the things I find so fascinating s...
