Great Comet of 1910

Post #1by Anthony_B_Russo10 » 14.08.2018, 03:14

This adds the comet C1910 A 1 that made a close approach to Earth in January 1910, four months before 1P/Halley's approach in 1910. AscendingNode, ArgOfPericenter, MeanAnomaly numbers are copied from Comet Hale-Bop due to the fact I could not find the actual numbers for these.

This is used to manage various categories of objects. If the comet as a separate add-on, then these lines can be deleted.

Yes, excuse me, I forgot to report that ': Visible (false)' is used for the Vidiba module in Lut5. For normal use, excluding Lut5, this line is to be removed.

C/1910's orbit is quite impressively big, taking it beyond the one light year render limit.

And anyone know how to fix Titan's atmosphere?

Categories in "Celestia Origin" are in no way associated with Lut5. However, in the future we plan to connect them to LET.

About "Celestia Origin" began to speak for a reason. Much of what you recently posted, we already have.

I'm just saying because I had to uninstall and reinstall 1.6.1, once I had reinstalled it, the program started to ignore the scattering and mie portions of Earth, Mars, and Titan's atmospheres.

Hmm, I had that same problem before @Anthony_B_Russo10. What I did is that I just copied the color rendering of the Earth's atmosphere instead (to give that blue look).

Of course that's unrealisic, but it works :biggrin: :biggrin:

I managed to fix it by uninstalling Celestia twice and reinstalling it.
