Orient spacecraft by RA/Dec or ecliptic coordinates

Thank you, Art Blos. Making a STC file with Barycenters combined with your solution helped me. Ultimately, I want to point the spacecraft at different stars over time. Avoiding quaternion transforms, at the moment I solved this by defining a auxiliary spacecraft with the orbit, and then adding space...

Orient spacecraft by RA/Dec or ecliptic coordinates

Dear all, I am trying to find a way to point my spacecraft to a specific star. Lets say, Vega for example, has ecliptic J2000 coordinates 285.31638779° +61.73286467°. I tried: BodyFrame { EclipticJ2000 { Center "Sol" } } FixedRotation { MeridianAngle 61.73286467 Inclination 285.31638779 } ...
