Hello,
This is my first message here, and of course I want to say a huge "Thank You" for this amazing program.
I dreamt of such a tool since I first saw space art by Hartmann & Ron Miller, 20 years ago, and thanks to SE, all of these wondeful paintings come to life ! It's not only an astronomy program, it's the most amazing dream machine I ever saw.
I share here of few screenshots of my first journeys in space. I love wandering in spiral galaxy suburbs, next to globular clusters, looking for nice ringed planets

Change Ambient and Exposure, and add "Rings shadows on sky" (ctrl+F4). Accelerate the time, and watch a wonderful show of dancing rings shadows on the upper atmosphere !
