Interactive Resurgence Maps

By Johnvanvliet
it is not a problem
mostly i make sure that official addons on the main addon site ( celestiaMotherload) work
most of the time it really is not an issue
and i have seen FAR WORSE non mapping , yours is some what close
by the look might not be 90 north to 90 south but 85 north to 85 south
and that would make a difference
all in all not bad

Well, that's comforting! What do you mean about being more 85N/S than 90?

I've created a Web page which briefly describes the Addon.

Nice additions, it's like russian dolls .

The galactic map is too big for placing Neosol (52 light years is really close to the sun at that scale), but is it possible to place the Carina Nebula? It would indicate the general direction of Neosol.

[selden]

I think that can happen.

V1.0 is now available. Ilanthar posted that he won't be producing the next map in the series until October or so, so it seemed appropriate to tie up some loose ends and finalize this version of my adaptation. I'm hoping that it'll be possible to add future maps without people having to download this entire Addon again.

Changes in v1.0 (August 30, 2017)
===============
+ updated Neosol stellar system map and associated buttons
+ adjusted dropdown menu buttons
+ revised display of Hyperion star system orrery
+ updated orbits of ETA Car
+ attempted to work around a "pause" bug in Celestia v1.7 for Macs

If there are any features that you think should be added in v2, please don't hesitate to let me know.
