Re: Pluto Orbit Confusion
I have tried and searched a lot of stuff about 1.6, but I can't find specific info on when 1.6 is in fact going to be released or if it is available anywhere. Some people seem to be getting versions from somewhere. Anyone got a link?

Re: Pluto Orbit Confusion
I understand that now. And assume that there is nothing I could change in the "solarsys.ssc" file to fix it. Thanks. I use Celestia to visualize illustrations I am doing. I just used v1-4-1 to get what I needed. Is version 1-6 available for Mac OS? If not, do you have any idea when it may ...

Re: Pluto Orbit Confusion
It is supposed to be the orbit around the Sun. What I am saying is that the data file for the solar system "solarsys.ssc" is somehow in error. It will not show Pluto's orbit around the sun correctly. Instead it shows Pluto's orbit around its barycenter. The following is the data in V1-5-1,...

Re: Pluto Orbit Confusion
This is an actual problem with the data, not a misunderstanding. This is a view of the solar system in Celestia 1-4-1 showing Pluto's orbit around the sun. http://www.davemckay.ca/_Temp/SS-V1-4-1.png This is the same Favorite in Celestia 1-5-1. http://www.davemckay.ca/_Temp/SS-V1-5-1.png This is a c...
