Moon Orbit Display

Post #1by Danial » 23.09.2008, 02:51

I was looking at the moons of Jupiter today and was just wondering if there was a way to show only the orbits of the main moons, as in the ones lying roughly on the planet's equator? The minor moons with their crazy orbits are too distracting.

Celestia v1.6 (currently in development) will have separate classifications of "moons" and "minor moons" for just this reason. Cartrite is providing copies of the preliminary executable, although this and other new features will require updates to other files, too. See viewtopic.php?f=4&t=12221
