Solaris, That actually happens to be one of my favorite astronomical images. That's what our solar system might have looked like if seen edge-on from a distance, about 4.6 billion years ago.
The flares and stars look at lot different in GloryMajor's pictures on page 38. How do i get those? Im new to the space engine and I love it. I want to directly upload the pictures from my pc onto the forum and display it. How?
How do I share from picasa.

Some real world gas giants whose exomoons could very well support life. I know there are more gas giants which would be in the temperate zone, but I got tired of looking at gas giants and most of them in the catalog were either frozen, scorched, or hot.
This one is probably massive enough to have an earth sized moon at a distance far enough away that it might not be affected by the powerful magnetic field. Then again, we know how powerful Jupiters magnetic feild is, so this one could be even stronger. It is also either kind of dense or has a larger core than typical since it's actually smaller.
This one is a more modest massed Jovian world, however you don't often see the green tinged atmosphere with gas giants.
I've found a planet made of gold! I wonder how long until a galactic gold rush happens... At least, if anything can withstand coming this close to its A6 sun!
Click on the images for full view PNG, This one is 5300x1350 :
This one looks like a real space pic Whoops, sorry doctor of space , I've deleted my post because of some errors ( doubles links everywhere ), I was hoping nobody had the time to saw it ! :)

Is that default SE?
Yes, all Images are made from default SE models. I've only played with Fov and few settings (as usual) .
Edit : I've just realised that you were talking to smjjames..
What were your exposure settings for those gas giant images because they look fantastic?
Settings are generaly at default for those shots, it's more a question of Point of view/perspective, just take a crecent, zoom a lot, found nice clouds and eventualy look for contrast (real planet brightess or exposure). Here you have a exemple for fov 10° :
Place "Gaz pic exemple" { Body "RS 4843-3618-8-5866657-12 2" Parent "" Pos (-7.08880979252962e-010, -2.045476702296559e-009, 1.507655428994482e-009) Rot (-0.6524549214925872, -0.07583697255902545, 0.5221235133798193, -0.5440021744341627) Date "2850133.01.29 08:23:47.06" Vel 1.9843649e-010 Mode 1 }
