Sun far too big with new star code (scaled disks)

Chris,

with your new scaled disk star code one may compose absurd configurations as to the size of our star.

Here is the cel://url

Note you got to switch by hand (CTRL+S) to the scaled disk stars to see the "effect" ;-)

Here is a screenshot. Note the distance to Titan is only
28000 km and the FoV is perfectly close to the default:
31 degrees.

Despite your recent depth sorting code, faint stars are
still VERY closely visible next to the Sun! It would be
good to devise some workaround for this highly
unphysical phenomenon... ;-)

Bye Fridger

PS: I should add that also moons are rendered WAY TOO big with your scaled disks...

I am not sure if the sun can be as big as in the scrennshots in 3 or 4 billion year 8O

Yes, this needs to be fixed. Doesn't this topic belong in the bugs forum though?

True. Selden is welcome to move it.
