Where?s the atualizations of deep sky objects?

After updates like M81 and V838,no more galaxies/nebulas appeared.It has passed several months.What?s happening?Is it to difficult to convert the images?Why there is only 2 galaxies with textures?(the rest is billboard or very small images)

Daniel,

If you want more 3D galaxies, you should consider making some yourself. Anim8or is free and it is easy to learn.

First,the problem is not only galaxies,but nebulas too.Second,my biggest problem concern textures,because I don?t have Photoshop and is a very expensive program.A M31 texture shoud be obvious.Why isn?t any of there,with the size optimizaed to Celestia(power of 2)?

Daniel,

You don't need Photoshop (expensive and complicated) or Gimp (free and complicated). Any paint program will work just fine. There are many free ones that are easy to use. For a long time I've used "Painter Classic." It was included free with my graphics tablet.
