My poor mac won't run it though...grrr.

My poor Mac won't run it either. Linuxman's 2001 works fine (but slow), but if I try his ISS, Celestia just crashes. So I use your lovely model instead. Your "meagre effort" isn't wasted.

@Starman17
You'll notice the ISS link selden gave you is exactly the same link I already posted.

@john Van Vliet
Your ISS screenshots would look much nicer with anti-aliasing.

Well, I'm absolutely in love with Linuxm@n's ISS, so here some screenshots from his last release.
These .jpg images size has been reduced to 1280x768 pixel and their quality to 5/12, in order to reach the size limit allowed here, but seeing them on a 1920x1200 screen is a truly astonishing experience, at least for me and my students.
Believe me, this addon is a resource sucker, but it's worth all the RAM you can buy for it.
More images in the next message.
Enjoy!

Other shots with Linuxm@an's incredible ISS.
Edited later:
BTW, if you want stay tuned on Linuxm@n ISS changes, follow this forum:

Stunning shots Goofy... so realistic... love the shots with the shuttle.

Thanks mr_a500!

Thank you bh, you are very welcome.
I'm sorry that you cannot use it in your MAC, but I hope that in the future Linuxm@n will rationalize it, reducing the weight of the addon, so allowing you to enjoy it.
I hope this for you.

Another shot of the shuttle, extracted from Linuxm@n's super scenario...



With the right music it makes for a relaxing animation.

Stunning.

-M-

Caught a moon conjunction on Belle Hades in real time earlier "today" (yesterday now, since it's past midnight ). Not that often that happens.

Plus the suns were at maximum apparent separation, making this even rarer.

Tried my hand at photomanipulation on a Celestia screenie.



I think it looks alright.

Anyone else?

Very nice, bh.
Could you please share the url?
Thanks a lot.

Hi Goofy... it's a 'stand alone' add-on taken from Linuxm@n's ISS.

I can post the ssc if you like. I'm using a seperate ssc for the payload ( a choice of four).

You can extract them from the ISS model and set them up in their own folders in extras-standard.

Hi bh, thank you for the reply.
Yes, I'm sure it's contained in the ISS addon, but I tried all the cel files and didn't find it anywhere.
May be that one of the many xyz file included there takes care of the Shuttle from the launch?
Please be so kind to add here the ssc file (shuttle with closed doors only, I have all the orbiting stuff with open doors), so I'll be able to understand where it is.
Thank you very much.

just images

I've found a couple of binary systems, & how to F10 jpegs!

Please remember that this thread is for showing screengrabs of views within Celestia, not for photographs of the real world. There are other forums for that.

A picture of a model of the car in Celestia would be fine, of course.

Almost ready

Very beautiful

but nothing else

I was wondering what else to add to it. In one version I have space suited engineers standing on the hull.

Here are some more screenshots I've taken. (probably similar to things seen hundreds of times before, but hopefully not too boring)

Freedom 7 model by James R. Bassett


Apollo 11 model by ElChristou, Moon VT by John VV


Orion by Linuxman, Earth VT by jestr, clouds by John VV


Orion entering space station


Eagle from Space 1999 by jestr


Saturn's clouds by Runar Thorvaldsen


(screenshots taken using PowerMac G5)


Edit: Damn ImageShack resized my originals after a few weeks for some unknown reason - from 1920x1080 to 800x450 - all except this one: (?!)

Saturn over Titan

mr_a500,

Applause!

You are one of very few, giving proper credit to the work of others. I wish I'd see more of this.
Nice pics!

Well, the only thing I can take credit for is the camera angle. I'm just the cameraman. (...and it's not even my camera )
