Shadow of eclipse is incorrect.

Post #1by PeterC » 24.10.2006, 17:17

This eclipse and its circle of shade clearness are incorrect, it is the color gray. How to change color into black and clearness as on right of this image?

Below, it is eclipse of Titan on Saturn.

Do you have ambient light turned on in Celestia? If so, turn it off, that should make it black. (I presume the picture on the right is the photo from Cassini, and the picture on the left is the Celestia version?)

I don't think it's from Cassini, since we're nowhere near enough to an equinox of Saturn to see eclipse shadows cast by its major satellites. Are both images from Celestia?

No, not from Cassini. All two images are from Celestia.

The light is normal in Celestia. Before, I haved the all black shadows in Celestia. Now this shadow's eclipse is gray but the shadow's ring is black. I don't understand.

This really looks like ambient light is on, make sure it is off by pressing {.

Oops! Je suis b??te ! (I am stupid!)
I changed the light/shadow night, I saw the eclipse which is black.
