Eric, I'm not sure how easy that would be to do. I don't think Xplanet can do that. The moon is nice because the same side always faces us, so maybe the features could be put in if we knew their relative RA/DEC
I had not taken any additional steps that I can recall for installations.
I appears I had not installed xplanet, I have done so now. At this point it opens but the only thing displayed is a featureless orb.
What next? Is the a documentation page I can follow?
So your post made me think about xplanet again. I think I might make a couple of modifications, like adding a FOV slider. This could help in moon identifications and in zooming in and out on a planet and its moons to get better identifications of them
Ok, I got the images loaded. Now I have noticed that the face of the planets being presented is incorrect. I referred to Stellarium and the Mobile Observatory app on Android for comparison. Also simulating light speed is not enough to account for the discrepancy.
One other bug, when viewing a planet with Xplanet for the first time there is an error.
