Selden, i downloaded it now and have just had time for a look at your CelUrl
scenes, and i must say you have done a wonderful job... Since Bonestell
were so widely used in connection to space exporation literature and texts,
some of those scenes were a real blast from the past - they were so familiar
they seem real.

Expecially nice was that you included all the orbit CelURls. It makes your
Add-On something much, much more than just Fun With Space Ships... I??m
sure Von Braun would have liked it :-)

Thanks,
-rthorvald

PS: one thing: many on your CelUrls took me a bit off-stage, so i had to
type G to get there. Was this on purpose, or is there a bug in OSX Celestia141?

Runar,

Thanks for the kind words.

Unfortunately, I don't know why the URLs would be offset for you. On my PC, their viewpoints aren't exactly like the pictures I've posted, but they're very close. Now I'm wondering if there is still some difference in positions due to different math libraries under the different types of operating systems. :-(

I would greatly appreciate it if people with different types of systems would let me know if they see the same kinds of URL offsets.

I'll update the Web page with screengrabs that exactly match what I see.

A Web page of screenshots is at

I haven't had time to label them properly, but I think you can figure out which is which.

I thought I'd tease you a little with the addon I'm creating for the Addon

It's got a long way to go yet, though.

Nobody other than rthorvald has mentioned problems with the viewpoints in the Cel urls in AcrossToMars.

Is he the only one seeing this problem?
Has anyone else tried it on a Mac, for example?
