VY Canis Majoris vs. Sol... in Elite.

[elayeth]

Hi,

I have read that the view on Canis Majoris in Elite isn't as spectacular as sometimes expected. It is because of the relative distance you appear after jump - over 5000 Ls. So I dediced to show the scale comapred to Sol. Enjoy.

Cheers,

PS: Sol seems to be too bright at 100.000 Ls... as there is no visible difference until closer then 5.000 Ls

Just to add: Earth is about 490 - 507 LS from Sol.

Nice post, thanks for the info.

Nice. The popping into the system further away from bigger stars does kind of mask the size differences quite a lot.
