Hi Corysia!

Thanks a lot for that hint! It actually gave me a very fast and nice
possibility to put system!

First I used a bitmap, yes.

exactly my experience.

Thanks a lot! This is really a good way for me to solve my one problem. I
have taken a look to Celestia and I think that you are right! Although I
think that OpenUniverse looks even better...

But, if I travel to a star in Celestia, this star is glooming a little bit.
If I were able to make my sun look somehow like that, I had the possibility
to make my little scene look rather perfect. Do you know a way (in Java3D)
to make this? *please* :-)))

Thanks again!

Greeting,
        Christian Bartel
