Quick add-on: Regulus system

[ajtribick]

Small add-on for Regulus. It makes the Regulus Aa star oblate and gives it a texture to represent equatorial darkening, and adds the spectroscopic companion Regulus Ab as a hot white dwarf star. The distant companions Regulus B and Regulus C are also included.

Just wanted to say thanks for that...
I appreciate even the smallest add-ons. Dunno why, but probably has
something to do with the fact that I have no life.

Personally, I prefer doing data-driven (e.g. CHARM2 and the exoplanet textures, both of which are now incorporated into Celestia) and small-scale add-ons. At least they have the advantage of not being too much of a burden on everyone's bandwidth!

Well, the Regulus add-on demonstrates an interesting property of the
star system which one does not normally think about. Or, at least *I*
don't normally think about.

Thanks again, Brain-Dead
