Yeah, I originally thought the same as well, until Art Blos told me otherwise. However, if you prefer the Voyager colors, I have made a recolorized variant of that same texture that more closely matches the Voyager imagery. In my opinion, it would work well as an alternate surface for Triton in Celestia Origin.

Remember that Voyager's cameras can't be used to compose true color images. It had orange, green, cyan and violet filters. You need red, green and blue filters to get close to true color. So composing a color mosaik out of voyager images gives you plenty of room to precess it to one shade or the other. Personally I find the new 2014 map to be exagerated, this is what my attempt of a more natural colored Triton looks like:

Increased the brightness of all stellar textures. Brown dwarfs, carbon stars and white dwarfs got new textures. Neutron stars are devoid of texture.

Those textures look more realistic. Oтличная Pабота!

I still want to keep these textures, viewtopic.php?f=6&t=12498 (since they are the ones that I have always wanted since 2012.) I still keep your star textures via the textures resolution settings.

Thank you, but for now we do not need exoplanet textures.

I have made some more alternative surfaces of Earth. You might like to include them.

Very nice pack! I'll give a try on my Mac and report back

How do you generate the SSC files, especially for the exoplanets?

Thanks

For the most part, we edit them manually.
