Thank you Reiko.
I never tried Harald Schmidt's 32kVT cloudmap, and I see it looks very nice.
I'll give a try. :wink:

Kzinti Colony Population = 1 at the moment.
We Kzinti eat Samurai for breakfast, so send them down! :twisted: :lol:

Actually, speaking of honeymoons, I believe NZ is a very popular place for Japanese to "tie the knot". Perhaps because the scenery is a little more varied than Saturn's. :wink:

By the way what is your favorite man-kzin wars story?

Uh, might as well...

I've found out that the ability to orient objects in Celestia and to zoom in on them gives some interesting results. Well I think they are...

These were all made with the basic Celestia 1.4.1 package.

Mars' moons, Deimos and Phobos

Image
Jupiter and Terra

Image
Mars and Mercury

Image
Mercury and Saturn

Mercury and Venus

More to come, if you don't mind that is...

Actually the moonships are by Re(i)mbrandt.
I only cleaned up a few elements and uploaded them (with his permission) to the ML.

The most distant star I have traveled to in Celestia.

Image

The star is TYC 3151-1299-1. If you notice the distance from earth it's almost 22,000 light years. This is from Pascal Hartmann's extended star database.

just write the code for it and stick in the solarsys.scc file in your data folder. Visit the link for that moon's code.

Hunter,
It would be better to do this in a separate SSC file in your extras folder. It's better not to edit the solarsys.ssc file at all, as it gets recreated with new installs of Celestia. Just cut and paste the code for your new moon into a new file, and save it as for example dialuna.ssc in the extras folder. (It can even be in a sub-folder)

but, the moon doesn't appear when you keep it in the extras folder. At least, not the other two moons.
