Celestia Forums

Hi, The installation process of Celestia is extremely cumbersome if one wants to have most of the add-ons. I want highest resolution textures of Earth, the Moon, the Sun and Mars, as well as a bunch of nebulas, and the number of downloads, unpacks, reading of readme's, placing of files, etc just eat...

They have promised to release the fisheye-modified version of Celestia. I'm going to need it soon enough, and since they provide it as a part of a commercial packages, they must of course release it. I'll ask for it later this week. I didn't want to be overly explicit about what I think about this s...

There is little help from the functions provided in the Lua interface itself, as well as from the community. I would think that one of the most common expectations from...

I would like to second the original question of this thread. I also offer to maintain a FAQ on Celestia in domes, since running Celestia in a dome is exactly what we're planning to do withing a few months! We've got a small 5 meter dome from GOTO, and I'm considering basing and installation on the f...
