I dont know if anyone else would need this but me and I hope its not too difficult to code...but could there be a possible new class similar to the invisible class, added to Celestia?

This class however would be used in dsc files...would use a software rendered sphere or area relative to the size...and would in effect hide the contents of an dsc object from external view...Also hide external view of the outside from within...A sort of veil being placed over an object...

It has to do with the current addon I am releasing today...You will notice that most of the time nebulae will appear behind everything...If you flip normals it will appear in front of everything...etc...This current addon uses this flipped normal method to create an enviroment shell around a small part of space...giving the appearence it is outside our galaxy etc...I am wanting to hide this object from external view so as to not interefere with realistic space and observations made from earth will not reveal a 'new star' or galaxy for that matter...

Thanks
