I'm trying to get a picture of what stars are outside my house.

I'm doing the following:
1.) Geocoding my address
2.) using gotolatlong with the following script:

Code: Select all

 select      { object "Sol/Earth" }
  select      { object "Sol/Earth" }
synchronous { }
 
gotolonglat { time 5

              distance 2
              up [0 1 0]

              longitude -73.943

              latitude 40.717 }



3.) then I hit the * key to "lookback" (because I can't seem to get the command working in script

The main problem is that I can't see the moon in the celestia window, but it's in the center of the sky outside my window.

What am I missing?[/code]
