Nebula question

Post #1by Mr Noob » 07.06.2008, 12:31

Hi

I went on the motherlode today to get a few bits and pieces for a system I am creating. I came upon Cham's fictional nebula package and I decided to get it for my system as a nebula would look pretty cool. There is just one problem though and that is I don't know how to put a nebula into Celestia so would I have to tell Celestia to draw it around the star and if so how do I do that?

Thanks

Have you read Cham's read me file? Simple explanation for all nebulae. Use the ENTER-TYPE NAME-ENTER method to get to the stars in question. In other words, to see the nebula around Mira, just press ENTER to get Celestia's object location entry screen at the bottom of the display, type in "Mira" without the quotes, and then press ENTER again to select the star. Finally, press the G key to GOTO the star and you'll see the nebula around it.

Thanks, Bob
