Celestia Forums

I'm trying to create a fictional galaxy, but for some reason, it is too bright from within, and any attempts to modify the axis results in a severely distorted shape. I'm trying to keep it as round as possible.

How do I define a better galaxy? Here, I'm trying to give the Star Wars universe in Celestia its own galaxy (based on info from the "Wookiepedia"), which I think it deserves.

This is what I've got.



Can anyone help?

Galaxy "Star Wars Galaxy:The Galaxy"

}

Can anyone help?

Change the Hubble type. Sa is a somewhat special morphology. Try in succession

Sb, Sc, SBa, SBb, SBc or SBc with keyword CustomTemplate "MilkyWay.png"
If the galaxy is too bright make it dimmer by reducing the value of AbsMag appropriately.
