Solarsystem Tour

continuous movement without stopping. Version 1.0 always has the camera pointed in direction of movement, while
version 1.1 keeps the camera on the planets during flyby.

Lua-console (Celestia 1.3.2 or newer)
Enter Lua-commands directly in celestia. Backspace is the only available line-editing capability.
New in 1.1: Use CTRL-P and CTRL-N to bring back already entered commands.
Each line is executed as a separate function. You can return values, which are then displayed on screen, and access global variables.

Around-the-earth
Small and simple script which moves the camera around earth in a spiral. Should be easy to understand, in case you want to write your own scripts. The second script is a minor variation of the first one.

Timestep keys (Celestia 1.3.2 or newer)
Change time by one solar day ('d'/'D'), sidereal day ('s'/'S') or year ('a'/'A') for the currently selected planet
(Only planets can currently be used).
New in v1.1: A short description is displayed on start

Frames Of Reference (Celestia 1.3.2 or newer)
This script may help understanding the various frames of reference implemented in Celestia.
When started, the script will always set the observer on one of the axis for the currently active
frame of reference. The used axis can be chosen by pressing "X", "Y" or "Z" (capital letters). The
frame can either be changed by normal keyboard commands for follow, synchronous, ...
or by pressing "F" to select the next frame and "G" for the previous frame.
New in v1.1: A short description is displayed on start
If you prefer slower or faster changes of axis, you can modify the variable "change_duration" in line 36.

Show Azimuth and Elevation (Celestia 1.3.2 or newer)
Displays the azimuth and the elevation of the direction the observer is looking to. Note: all keyboard-commands are capital letters, so they don't intefere with normal Celestia usage.
Changes in v1.1: Displays RA and Dec as well. Azimuth and Elevation is always displayed and computed relative to the surface of Earth,
unless the user changes the base-planet by selecting another planet and then pressing "S".
Changes in v1.2: You can now enter Azimuth and Elevation: Press "A".
You can now force the horizon to stay horizontal, i.e. to make up always point away from ground: Press "F".
Changes in v1.3: A short description is displayed on start.
