Hi Chris,
thx for this great Program.
I know you work hard on 1.2.5 but i have a question.
It is possible to add Lens Flares to the Sun`s?
The Flare`s would have to be visibly only if you are in its solarsystem.
You now what i mean?
The Flare`s would have to be dependent on the distance, i.e. the further away from the sun the effect is smaller. Is the feasible? Thanks.

Feasible yes, but there was opposition voiced the last time this issue was raised. It seems the people want realism, not fancy effects.

Personally I'm not swayed either way - it'd be nice to have, but these effects take time to implement which could be used doing perhaps even cooler things :O[]
