My first real add on: V838 Mon(ster) nova

Okay, now that I know how to get the textures bright, I continued with something I allready started: the V838 Mon(ster) nova.
Data is based on
http://simbad.u-strasbg.fr/sim-id.pl?protocol=html&Ident=v838%20mon
I am still a newbie with Celestia, so if something is not correct in the data I placed in Celestia, please let me know?
The V838 Mon(ster) add on can be downloaded from

And ofcourse a screenshot

That looks reasoably good to me
Have you thought about trying to model it as a sphere?

I tried but I do not like the effect. If a sphere is used, the render should be from within to the outer borders.
Now only a shell is around the sphere and then this is the effect:

Nice work...although I didn't like the 'sparkle' filter effect on the nearby stars...Top of the Pops or what?
These nebula addons look great but they mostly lack a star cluster...have a look at Rassilons Rosetta Nebula and you'll see what I mean. This is the quality of work to aim for.
Many regards...bh.

I agree on the "sparkle filter", it's someting I am busy with now to remove.
About the star cluster, I do know what you mean (look at my first add on (not real) galaxy at
http://www.3dart4u.com/celestia/RT_52.zip
) ....... but as I understood, the region of the nova V838 is not filled with stars so that's why I didn't add any stars, let alone a star cluster. But maybe a few around might be more realistic I guess.
Thanx for the tip

Hi Jeam Tag!!
Maybe have to wait for a few days in adding the add on url. Still a bit busy with it, plus that the URL will be changed.
About the French: I do know Dutch and English and that is as far as my language knowledge goes

Je ne suis pas vraiment un orateur fran?ais fluent ainsi comment I ?crivant ceci?! J'avais l'habitude
http://babelfish.altavista.com/babelfish/ pour traduire ce texte de l'anglais en Fran?ais. Je l'ai employ? un bon peu de fois de r?pondre aux email dans etc.. fran?ais/allemand. Vous devez avoir toutes les ?pellations correctes, mais ind?pendamment de celui il est simple d'employer.
Ainsi ? l'avenir vous pourriez juste saisir celui que vous vouliez en fran?ais dans cette page, traduisez en anglais, et puis le collez dans le forum de celestia. Car vous parlez anglais un peu vous-m?me, vous pourriez fixer toutes les erreurs ?videntes!
It also works for lots of other languages. French only goes to english & german though.

Sure, Jack, but i think about special astronomic terminology, special names, expressions, and so on: not really acurates with translator... and not really sure that I'm using all the good ones in french!)
But i'll try it, with the notices i have linked on my pages (the 'Notules VF')

Well okay, my V838 add on is finshed ... download on
http://members.chello.nl/seti.haarlem/V838.zip although that will not be the definitive URL.
Removed the "star streaks" as suggested. But the neighberhood stars were no succes: if I added more then one, they all became invisible?
Busy with my own Celestia site now plus also busy with to other real add ons:
the N49 nova and with the supermassive star Eta Carinae.
Of the last one, see the screenshot below .... trying to make a good model with that one too ....

FYI: a very impressive 3D model of this one has been made some time ago by Rassilon I believe. I tried to find the forum link but didn't find it yet...
