Wow thanks! now i can see orbits

I was wondering if anyone could tell me how to install this earth version, and based on PC's capabilities is it even worth installing it? since its a 64k version and my PC is a couple of years old.

hmm something is strange when i click show orbits, NONE seem to be working anymore, i have been installing nebula, could i have done something to celestia to cause this!

im not sure what i did i tryed installing some other nebula and wala i read the nifty help on how to install nebula, i placed m1 in the extras folder and made sure they were set up celestia/extras/addons/m1_crab nebula

im still just figureing all this out thanks for the help.

We need a new ISS model for the Celestia base package. The current one is out of date, very crude looking, and has depth buffer artifacts when rendered. I'd like something not more than about 500k and compatible with the GNU Public License under which Celestia is distributed. bh, does your model me...

okay, I've downloaded m1 and installed it in the correct directory, but how do i find it? I've tried pressing enter and typing in M 1 or crab nebula but nothing it doesn't select anything. can anyone help

bh, You probably overlooked them because the names aren't what you expected.

hi i had the same problem when i downoaded celestia! your graphics card does not support open gl simply prec control+v to change it to basic or multitextured.

simple as that

wow i cant find any nebulae

crab nebula ngc 1952 doesn't exist in celestia. wtf! M1? non existant infact the first one hundred messier objects are not in celestia!

to run the complete risk of sounding like a newbie, can anyone help me find some nebulae? i would love to visit the crab nebula the horse head nebula and others, is there a web page that would list the coordinates of such celestial features? or tell me a way to locate them? such as: The Helix Nebula...

Thats pretty rad but it seems to work better by turning automagnitude OFF, and turning up the magnitude to 15, though the galaxies them selves are not visible when Galaxy labels are turned on you see thousands of galaxies!

thanks for you help

I found it.

ROFL yeah it was off, mb fellas thanks for the help. is there anyway to make all the galaxies show? now that its turned on i can only see a few galaxies that are close to The Milky way m31 and others but as i travel away many galaxies become visible briefly and disapear again. i get the feeling this...

Neither of these suggestions helped make the Galaxies more visible, i still cannot see even the milkyway! [/] make the stars more visible, especially with automag off. but do nothing for the andromeda or the other 1000+ galaxies its cool to zoom out with auto mag off stars set a points and have the ...

using [ and ] turns magnitude of stars up and down but how do you make galaxies more visible?

i see that some of you are running a newer version of Celestia, 1.5.0? something like that Shatters.net offers 1.4.1, which is what im using i heard that the latest beta is worth getting. 1. i dont know how to modify celestia 2. i wouldn't want to break it. 3. i dont know any coding is worth getting...

GREAT! it appears that the problem is with running open GL, when i use BASIC or MULTITEXTURE the planets and moons appear fine. I uninstalled Celestia and found a couple of "left over files" deleted them and reinstalled, it no longer crashes when i reach the earth and pressing Control + V and settin...

I took the advice and updated my graphics drivers, but now celestia crashes when i reach the earth on start up! i may go the route and buy a cheep graphics card see if that helps.

i was recently introduced to Celestia through a friend, and decided to download it on to my own computer, I'm not a computer wiz but there seems to be a problem with Celestia, all of the plants "skins" are not attached to the planets and they distort as I move around, it a problem with my video set ...
