I saw Don Parker photos and others and compared to my situation,the reflections are not so brilhant and silvery.The effect is not so good.In my Realistic-Earth8k.dds,I only see the lakes glowing softly.
Could be GF 4 MX limitations?
My sistem is Athlon XP 1800,256 MB RAM DDR 256,GF 4 MX 440 SE 64 MB,driver 44.03,Win XP,Celestia 1.3.0,Realistic-Earth8k.dds,lights-aurora2k.jpg,4kEarthSpecular.dds,moon4k.jpg,Mars-V3-Shaded-4k.dds,4knew-mars-clouds.png.
Not so shiny reflections

How can I increase the value of Specular Power?I only have Microsoft Photo Editor to do this
You only need to use Notepad.
SpecularPower is one of the instructions in data\solarsys.ssc. It tells Celestia how bright to draw the "reflection". The usual value is 25.0 Try something like 250.0
SpecularColor tells Celestia what color to draw the "reflection" . The usual value is [ 0.5 0.5 0.55 ] which is a medium grey with a hint of blue. Try something like [ 1.0 1.0 1.0 ] which is pure white.
Don't burn your eyes out!
