Revision 4242 of Celestia enables the display of phase angle for the current selection.
For the moment, phase angle is not shown for planets in multi-star systems. I don't see this as a pressing issue. Nevertheless, any suggestions on what should be done here? Show the phase angle for the brightest star? Closest star? Both? How bright does the light from a star have to be (relative to the brighest light source) before a second phase angle should be shown?

Re: Phase angle
Prefer to see both phase angles
Re: Phase angle
And add an option to see the sum of the different phase angles also.
Because things could get messy within a complex multistar system.

Re: Phase angle
I think it will be great to see phase angles for closest star? I understand that it is difficult to create phase angles for all planets but maybe it is possible to create phase angles for closest star.
