Update to numberedmoons.ssc

Post #1by granthutchison » 19.10.2006, 23:19

I've added definitions for Daphnis (the Keeler Gap moon of Saturn) and Perdita, Mab & Cupid (inner Uranians) to numberedmoons.ssc, now that ephemerides are available from JPL.
Get the updated file from CVS at:
http://celestia.cvs.sourceforge.net/celestia/celestia/extras/numberedmoons.ssc

These four objects previously appeared in my poormoons.ssc add-on, which provides partial orbital definitions for newly discovered or unrecovered objects, for solar system completists.
For compatibility, I've now removed them from that file. Those of you who use poormoons.ssc can get the new compatible version from Selden's site at:
http://www.lns.cornell.edu/~seb/celestia/hutchison/poormoons.html
With this update, poormoons.ssc now contains only a definition for 2000J11, an unrecovered Jovian, so some may prefer to do without it.
