scaled disc bug?

At first I thought this was a qt4 bug but I then noticed that only the qt4 version had star style set to scaled discs. When looking at a planet, moon, or spacecraft from a distance, they are rendered as big bright discs. Here is a CEL_URL to the Apollo spacecraft.

Code: Select all

cel://Follow/Sol:Earth:Moon:Apollo%2011/2009-08-11T09:15:59.57424?x=HblNwSv+/////////////w&y=Pxh5sMAC&z=14hrXiD+/////////////w&ow=-0.494176&ox=-0.615299&oy=-0.60662&oz=-0.0959703&select=Sol:Earth:Moon:Apollo%2011&fov=29.2584&ts=1&ltd=0&p=0&rf=676643&lm=3088&tsrc=0&ver=3

The star style was not part of this url so you have to toggle star styles. With the scaled disc setting, the spacecraft will become a bright disc. This disc looks rather large. Maybe it is OK for a planet or moon but is it OK for a spacecraft?
