I'm trying to run Cassini spacecraft. Unfortunately, the spacecraft appears on
bad side of Saturn, additionally too close to it. I compared my results to
pictures on: http://saturn.jpl.nasa.gov/mission/presentposition/. I'm using ephemeris generated for
2011/10/17:
OK, I changed Argument of Pericenter 120 degrees rigth and now the spaceship
is in
quite correct position in respect of Saturn.
orbit_ArgOfPericenter = 3.177096756593285E+02

Anyone else tried to run Cassini?

I hope the author or someone else will see this thread. How do I import Cassini into Stellarium? Please tell me step by step. Thanks.
