Does the celestial sphere in Orbiter have an actual radius in kilometers programatically speaking using earth as its center? What would that be?
I realize realistically it would be in lightyears but I dont think you can simulate programatically can you? and yet it seems to be,at least visually anyway, to be independant of earth when zooming in and out of earth.
thanks

I would also think that programatically the larger the distance or if too large, the celestial sphere radius would have more programatic inacuracies if Orbiter only using single point floating precision.
