discovery or re-discovery of a Celestia feature that can be useful to anyone working with LET and LUT interfaces:
the [ctrl + c] or ctrl + inser] command is used to copy the Celestia environment at the exact moment of the command. The settings are copied as an url into the Windows clipboard.
This url can be reused in a CELX script (in LUA) by the instruction:
celestia: seturl ("...")
This instruction will return Celestia to the same view as in [ctrl + e] (or ctrl + inser).
note: screen orbits, markers, and even pause time are recorded.
With Croc, we tested this instruction to show satellites in a particular configuration (flying over a planet during a trip into the solar system).
The search for the proper view is done with the traditional functions of Celestia, time adjustment, orientation of objects, ...
seturl instruction
You forgot to say that seturl applies to CEL scripts too, this way:
seturl {url "past here what you saved with command [ctrl + c]"}
An example:
seturl {url "cel://Freeflight/2011-12-26T10:47:26.19429?x=AFMIq/p6K+r8/////////w&y=qj6shd38c9r6/////////w&z=wMcnpmoLWsb1/////////w&ow=0.229316&ox=-0.497255&oy=0.82745&oz=-0.124409&select=Sol&fov=48.5035&ts=1<d=0&p=0&rf=2366215&lm=2048&tsrc=0&ver=3"}

Celestia has a lot of viewing options.
With the help of the Autopilot (LUT-5 tool) these settings are adjusted very accurately. Celestia: seturl ("...") is followed by the "Follow", "SyncOrbit", "Chase", "PhaseLock" or "Freeflight" navigation commands and the "Track" command
On the screenshot - Voyager-1 at Jupiter on March 5, 1979.
Without a complex script on the screen in the dynamics, you can observe this span Voyager-1. The position of the Voyager-1 is fixed, the device can only rotate around its axis and keep a reference point to the Sun.
Jupiter (on the screen) first approaches Voyager-1, then it is deleted.
About 19 hours UTC on the background of Jupiter sail Io. Fantastic!
