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?

update

Prefer to see both phase angles

And add an option to see the sum of the different phase angles also.

Because things could get messy within a complex multistar system.

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.
