Jovian Moon Immersed in Jupiter's Shadow Always Glows at Wider Fields of View

[TJackson]

Jupiter's moon Io, when going out of immersion from Jupiter's shadow, should wink on from darkness and does so at narrow fields of view. At expanded/realistic fields of view such that more of the moons of Jupiter are visible, then they all glow, even immersed Io.

Is that a feature? Is it something I can disable?

When a moon (or any object) is too far away to be resolved, Celestia displays a white dot at the position of the moon so you can see it.
I'm not sure if this is something that can be disabled.

Set the Io part of .../<CelestiaDir>/data/solarsys.ssc to:

Code: Select all

"Io" "Sol/Jupiter" {
  ...
  Albedo 0 # No albedo
  Color [ 0 0 0 ] # Black dot color
  BlendTexture false # Avoid to paint the texture with the above color
  ...
}


It's possible for all objects
