Hello, I noticed that the link to download Celestia151-ED http://www.celestiamotherlode.net/creators/fsgregs/educational/ED151/CED-151-WIN_setup.zip no longer works. I know it has been updated, but I would like to explore this old version, because it was used by thepersonfromearth who made some now ...

Whoops! Looks like I forgot to include the Yellow hypergiant texture, so here it is!

The RSG clusters:

Note: This is not the full version of the RSG catalog, and only includes the (mostly) finished files. This is a Red Supergiant catalog I made for Celestia (derived from simbad and a little from wikipedia), it contains more than 1000 RSGs and some candidate RSGs. Currently there are a lot of files an...

This addon contains a script for the binary Pi1 Gruis as well as a texture and model for the red giant primary. The texture and model were made in Cinema 4D R19. Enjoy! The current version is Version 1.0, I will update if something needs updating. small update: changed Gruis to Gru. I made a version...

So i'm working for a RSG catalog for celestia, and I would want someone to make a tutorial for me on how to export simbad data (from criteria query) into an STC file. The query i'm using is: http://simbad.u-strasbg.fr/simbad/sim-sam?Criteria=%28spstring+%7E+%27M%27+%7C+spstring+%7E+%27K%27%29+%26+sp...

Comparison of the different types, includes the types from this addon and my previous addon:

This addon contains a model and texture for red supergiants. It works best with true-colors enabled. I made this using Cinema 4D. (Thanks to Gurren Lagann for teaching me how) There is a small rendering issue, but i don't know how to fix that right now. I will post a fixed version if i can. I tried ...

Joey P found some star textures on the bfdi wiki once that were missing from the forums, that’s when he said BFDI was cringy.

He could be a person called ”Riegel100” on the BFDI wiki which is the one that you (Joey P.) called a cringy kids show. There that person posted links to the original video from youtube and ’Size of the universe II’ from there too.

Does anyone have any idea about who the person that made this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T4YNX2pdShU (deleted) video is? They used Celestia to make it so maybe they are on the forums? There is one reupload of the video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6iOgxmz2CUc

Hi nussun, I noticed that your updated add-on is still missing HIP/TYC designations for a few stars, for example: HD 143183 = TYC 8710-1370-1 AH Sco = TYC 7365-527-1 S Per = HIP 11093 EV Car = TYC 8956-3486-1 NR Vul = TYC 2144-1244-1 IX Car = HIP 52991 V602 Car = TYC 8959-707-1 BI Cyg = TYC 2684-52...
