@ZIHAMMER: Thats some awesome looking nebula screenshots there.

Anyways, while we're critiquing each others screenshots, how are mine in general? I'm definetly an amateur, but I do look for good shots and stuff.

Edit: Anyways, heres some screenshots.



Arrakis the star, I just thought it was cool because I am a fan of the Dune series of books. There aren't any temperate or warmer desert planets though :P

They look fine but if you want an advice after some little experiences i had with photography the best looking photos are at dawn and dusk where colors are vivid and try to find a planet with a nice background like a gas giant orbiting and try to get the best view at it like between mountains and other things , that should get you started. Also play with the settings @F7 and see what suits your interersts smile

smjjames, try to screenshot planets with auto exposition, it will look a way better.

You mean autoexposure and not auto exposition (which is something completely unrelated to photography)?

Whoop, I swear I remembered it as Tau Ceti IV, even looked at wikipedia (not thoroughly though). Anyays, you're right on the reference. I was just having some fun with the reference anyway. smile

Edit: Although, if one were to flip the Ceti Alpha and find the star Alpha Ceti (which turns out to be a red giant) and there is no 6th planet and the 5th is a gas giant.

RS 8403-59-6-104204-55 is a really interesting place - 1 terra, 1 oceania, 1 temperate desert, 2 martian worlds, 2 pseudo-venuses, 2 titans - all quite plausible.

So here are 2 screenshots full of moons:

First planet 3 - a temperate terra with about 0.1 atm - it has 6 Moon-like moons that look great when aligned


Then moon 4.2 - a temperate (and very Earth-like) desert that has a nice view of both the jovian planet 4 and the oceanian moon 4.5 (which is also very Earth-like, but on the wet side of things)

I went (by curiosity) on a short trip to DEEPJ 1337-33 (already put in highlight on these forums here: http://en.spaceengine.org/forum/10-784-1 )

and, well, like the topic there suggests....

(EDIT: apparently, the number of stars makes the screenshoot so heavy that it can't even be uploaded! 1.41 Mb of JPG file surprised )

OMG, my eyes! wacko

I found a great photography spot inside a basin or a crater in the middle of a tall mountain range on a planet inside a globular cluster and decided to image the planets night sky. At first I attempted to use the fishlens since it was a great spot to use it, only problem was that the skybox was painfully obvious. So, I decided to just use normal view and choose a great spot to look at.

However, screenshots won't show the full awesomeness of it, so go to the location and set timestep to x100. Make sure you have autoexposure on.
