Hi i have a problem with orbits. they are not drawn in front of planets that is for space craft, satellites and moons and i presume panets around the sun although its very difficult to tell with the brightness of the sun, relative to the orbit line. Has anybody got any ideas of how to fix this.

Thanks

The way that orbits are drawn is a deficiency in the design of Celestia. Chris hopes to fix it in v1.4.0.

It won't happen soon, though.

Sorry.

The same probem happens when rings around moons are so large that the planet is inside them. The planet appears in front of the rings when it isn't suppose to, these are probably related problems.
