Hi all,
I'm trying to take a picture of the pulsar geminga and psr b0656+14 with respect to the earth, but due to the big distance, the objects disappear from picture. Is there any way to highlight objects or to visualize some sort of marker instead of them?
Thanks.

Marks are visible at all distances.

You can use your favorite text editor to create a .cel script which will draw a square mark around an object.

Here's an example:

Code: Select all

{
 mark { object "Geminga" size 7
      color [ 1.000 0.586 0.000] symbol "square" }
}


Does this help?

Hello

mmmeghele
Welcome to this forum :mrgreen:

If you don't need a very high level solution :wink: , be sure that the markers are activated (with Ctrl-K or in the render menu) then select your pulsar and press Ctrl-P to have a visible marker even if the object is not selected.
