Celestia Forums

I have several systems in the small magellanic cloud and was wondering if there was a way to get the milky way to show up in a sky during daylight?
I know in reality galaxies are too dim to see during daylight but I'm trying to recreate a painting I once saw in a book. Turning up the galaxy brightness doesn't help because it simply disappears during daylight.

I don't suppose putting the galaxy in the atmosphere would fix it... hmm....

(lawl that sounds so awkward in a scientific sense).

Hungry is right its like using Paint or similar you bring the back layer to the front remove the black space which should leave stars galaxies etc visible. Using Celestia I'm not sure maybe someone with the software knowledge could.

Thank you, guess I could do that.

I didn't mean to sound sarcastic, lol. I really don't think it will work. But on the other hand, I don't really know.

It just hit me. Stars aren't visible unless they're within the solar system (or more specifically, within the 1 light-year in radius sphere around the central star). Prehaps the galaxy just has to be in system?

I didn't think you were being sarcastic.

Here is the effect I was looking for.
This is how the galaxy would look if you could see it during the daytime on a planet in the SMC.
