The latest shots of Mezzoramia and environs are nice:

Custom overlays allow you to do this Mike : http://www.lepp.cornell.edu/~seb/celestia/...ison/grids.html

I installed it and now I can do lat/lon grids for everything but Titan. -------------------- Some higher resolution images available at my photostream: http://www.flickr.com/photos/31678681@N07/

Well, thanks for the tip. I installed it and now I can do lat/lon grids for everything but Titan. The problem might be as simple as the cloud layer obscuring the lat/lon grid. Try pressing 'i' to disable clouds. I've considered modifying Celestia's code a little so that the grid is displayed over the cloud layer. I'm not absolutely convinced that this is a good idea, as it could produce odd looking results for planets with a thin cloud layer (e.g. Mars.) Let me know what you think... --Chris |
