I was using the Steve Albers one.

Thanks. I'm surprised they haven't yet named the two new big rayed craters except for names like 'North Giant Crater' and 'South Giant Crater' for reference with radar studies like here: http://www331.jpl.nasa.gov/group8/mercvla.html I went to Earth, zoomed in on Mercury with the ambient level up an...

More new Mercury place names: http://www.spacedaily.com/reports/Second_Group_Of_Mercury_Craters_Named_999.html Find where they are: http://planetarynames.wr.usgs.gov/jsp/SystemSearch2.jsp?System=Mercury so someone can add them to the Mercury locations. Grant? :mrgreen: There are 15 new crater names ...

thanks to mr. selden and mr. ajtribick well it seems that i really need to read more books... but in my country (Indonesia to more be more specific) there are not so much book about astrophysics, most of them is about "how to become rich fast" books and love novel so i had a shortage on p...

MNG and APNG are two formats. There are some examples of APNG images at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/APNG. It works in the new Firefox and Opera browsers and displays the first frame in IE and Safari.

I looked at a Magellan addon and the planetshine from the reflective clouds of Venus was bright.

Yeah, that picture shows the hemisphere that Maxwell Montes is not on. Compare the orientation of the Y feature of the clouds to Celestia. The Y opens towards the direction of rotation.

http://astrogeology.usgs.gov/HotTopics/index.php?/archives/329-Twelve-New-Names-and-a-New-Theme-for-Fossae-Approved-for-Use-on-Mercury.html Now there are new names for features on Mercury with a new theme of significant works of architecture for fossae names. I found an entry for Pantheon Fossae at...

I use Steve Alber's Ariel map that incorporates the planetshine. I followed Voyager 2 by in 1986 with SVN Celestia and could see the big white spot.

I also made a new lok texture to not cover that area.

It was already set to release. I tried downloading again from SVN and got some conflicted files like the .mak ones. So I deleted the sources and got a new copy and now it compiles fine. Thanks for your help.

I made my paths the same as your VC++ 2008 ones and still get the same 26 unresolved externals. Guess something is missing.

I got the new include and library files and completely replaced them in the inc and lib directories I made in the Celestia SVN directory except for the spice stuff which wasn't in the 3rd release. I took the spice stuff from the older zip files to put them back. I get the same 26 unresolved external...

Ok, the platform SDK stuff is before the other lines for executable, include and library. Now I am getting linker errors about libcmt having stuff already defined in msvcrt. ------ Build started: Project: celestia, Configuration: Release Win32 ------ Linking... LIBCMT.lib(tidtable.obj) : error LNK20...

Had anyone figured out a solution?

I got the same problem with linking and the OpenGL library. The PSDK has the include files and the library and the include/gl and lib directories are in the environment.

Thanks! I installed the 2005 SDK and followed your instructions in the other post plus changed adxres.h to Windows.h because I didn't find the first one. There wasn't a mfc subdirectory. I'm not sure which SDK you installed but I have the one found here and it works fine. The file AFXRES.h is found...

How do I get the Microsoft SDK 2008 installed if the download page for that says it doesn't support VC++ 2008 Express? I tried building the SVN code and it failed due to no afxres.h, a MFC header, being found. I tried various suggestions I found in Google, like changing the two includes of that in ...

The stars are individual objects you can go to. They are rendered with some kind of culling mechanism, either a BSP or octree. Some others here would know.
