Grant,

I knew you were going to protest. For that reason (and
others) I have added the "opaque" clouds texture in my
package.

Since quite a while, I /personally/ have a much wider
perspective as to the issue of which wavelength I am
going to use when watching Titan (and many other
objects in space!) from my little virtual "spaceship"...

If we did not cultivate this amazing amount of
"inertia" around here, it would long have been time to
contemplate a concrete "multi-wavelength" approach to
vision within Celestia!

For the time being I personally just carry these
"sun glasses" along on my "spaceflights" that feature
various filters...This is clearly a "primitive" compromise.

I find it close to ridiculous that I can just eliminate any
light pollution e.g. from street lights in my telescope with
a simple narrow band interference filter, and on the
other hand should not be allowed to see through Titan's
haze with an analogous device!

After all, Celestia is supposed to be a realistic space
simulation. Who of you would imagine to travel as far as
Saturn without taking filter devices along, just as Cassini
does!

As I wrote already earlier, I find it at least as
inconsequent to make Titan's haze entirely opaque and
then display its surface (after pushing "I") that has been
photographed in infrared light! Similarly with Venus...

If we had a sensible wavelength "switch" within Celestia
there would be no dispute whatsoever.
