Celestia 1.6.1 Star Colors

Post #1by Anthony_B_Russo10 » 05.12.2019, 05:39

Version 1.6.1 is capable of the star colors 1.7.0 has on by default, use Shift-5 to enable.

Actually, many of the images on Wikimedia Commons's category for Celestia or files on there made with Celestia used these 1.7.0. "alternate" star colors:

Yes, I've said this already. Even Celestia 1.5.1 (the oldest version I have, for Memory of the Waves) has this function.

Thing is though, how many user use this feature or know of it.

Though 1.7.0 does make the star color options easier to see by having them in the Preferences window.

It is not commonly talked about outside of 1.7.0 from what I've seen.

Unfortunately, I am not interested in downloading Celestia 1.7.0. (sorry!)
