Gaia Celestial Sphere

Gaia Celestial Sphere 1.0

Here's a new celestial sphere I made from resized Gaia data to look as realistic as possible.
Source of the input data: https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/4851/

To install place it into your [Orbiter root]\Textures\csphere folder and add the following line to the bkgimage.cfg found at [Orbiter root]\config\CSphere\

Gaia 8k|csphere\gaia8k

This forum should always be respectful of the authors. So, please change the misleading title of the add-on (no NASA data in Gaia) and credit the authors properly as requested by them, i.e.:
• data from the European Space Agency (ESA) mission Gaia (https://www.cosmos.esa.int/gaia), processed by the Gaia Data Processing and Analysis Consortium (DPAC, https://www.cosmos.esa.int/web/gaia/dpac/consortium).
• display by NASA/Goddard Space Flight Center Scientific Visualization Studio.

Interesting review. I don’t know where I was misleading anyone, at least as far as I can see I never stated that it was made by NASA and you can find the full credit on the source page I linked. But for clarification I will add the full credit here as well. :)

Thanks! Of course as was rightfully pointed out, most of the work was done by others.
