How hard would it be to make labels disappear when thay are eclipsed by another body?


On another related track--- how hard would it be to add a table of prominent place names for a planet?

I'll look into this after 1.3.0 is done . . . It should be possible to depth sort labels, but it's not completely trivial because of the range of distances that Celestia has to deal with.

Not too difficult; I'll be working on this very soon.
