First of all,Sedna seem desconected from its own orbit.Second,in some places,the orbit elipse turns into a line.See below:

Danielj, both your images regard comet Borrelly, not Sedna.
Can you verify, please?
Regarding your celestia.cfg line
OrbitPathSamplePoints 100
did you try to rise that value to, e.g., 1000?
May be it helps.
Moreover, did you try to re-install the graphic drivers? :wink:
My little cent.
Bye

Andrea :D

I found the Sedna orbit,but I can?t believe how eccentic the orbit is.Sedna is now around 98 AU.In the future,will be more than 500 AU.It appears Sedna don?t belong to the Solar System...
And correcting the title:it?s Borrely?s orbit weirdness.
Sorry,it?s not Borrely.Borrely aphelio is not far from Jupiter?s orbit...
But I found another discrepancy in Celestia 1.5.1.
Eris IS a planet and Pluto NOT...
