The only way to change the luminosity of galaxies is to use the same commands as are used for changing the brightness of the stars: [ and ] (there are corresponding script and menu commands)

If the cluster is close enough (within 64K LY of Earth), you can use Rassilon's Cluster Generator to create a grouping of stars at its location. See the thread http://63.224.48.65/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1320

The Cluster Generator requires Celestia v1.2.5pre7 or later. It uses some features that aren't available in v1.2.4.

I hope this helps a little.

Selden,

I have tried the software to create clusters, is fine ! I have checked too commands for the stars and for galaxies available in http://members.fortunecity.com/guilpain/ to see if any works but .... :cry:

I think my question to up luminosity, go in the same way of other people I have see in the forum to have a render more realistic of the galaxies.
