Ah thanks, good feedback, so one more quick hack at this. I didn't play with colors in the Gimp: just made sure that it was close to noon on earth when I captured the picture looking up at Jupiter... darkest stripe on Jupiter is now (RGB) 132,157, 214 and the blue sky near it is 90,149.207, so I thi...

I'm no expert at such things, but I think that you want to make such photos you need to take advantage of the atmospheric effects in Celestia. In your solarsystem.ssc file, add something like this to throw a copy of jupiter over the moon: "Jup:Earth II" "Sol/Earth" { Texture &quo...

Thank you for you quick answer... -- toggle CTRL+L (night-lights on/off ) That doesn't seem to make a difference. (It works fine on this machine with 1.5.1, btw.) -- use the latest driver for your graphics card (older ATI drivers are often BUGGY)! I was not using the latest driver. I upgraded, and n...

This may be a known issue, but I don't see it in this thread: I'm not seeing any Night Side Lights on earth in this 1.6.0rc1.

32 bit Vista with ATI Radeon X1270 (if that makes a difference).

I was fooling around with the marvelous Celestia, and put together two (hopefully) humorous movies. Given how I put them together with Celestia and the models in the Motherlode, I thought I should drop a line, and say thank you to the Celestia community for all the fantastic software and models that...
