    Just a small bug. The Zodiacal light doesn't follow the ecliptic in the far past and future. Using DE431 ephemeris and setting the year to -12999, the Zodiacal light is lined up after the J2000.0 ecliptic, and no the ecliptic used on current date.

    Fixed. Will be OK in V0.15.2.

    Instead of starting a new thread I post this here.

    I am not sure if this only affects me as I cannot currently test on another computer, but the extincion for Zodiacal light is not oriented parallel to the horizon. It appears to have "black holes", which are especially prominent from mid-northern latitudes. I have this screenshot, where the brightness of ZL is exaggurated to 6 times its normal brightness.

      Oops. Fixed one, caused another. Yes, I changed the way how it's linked in the various coordinate frames, but did not change the extinction part, this is now computed in a wrong frame... --> https://bugs.launchpad.net/stellarium/+bug/1675699
