Yeah do everything you like :) Although for me was the new options not
the most critical for the next release. We could start a tab for
planetarium options, one for amateur astronomers and say that this is
testing only. It would be nice to have most important things like
fullscreen/frame rate limiter, flip control/suderal time toggle, disk
viewport/spherical mirror/gravity labels

Yeah it's much better, well done! Although there is a small pblm: when
the entry has no match it always got to Charon!

What was the problem really?

I am still working on this, it will be fixed, it is quite complicated
so I commit each time I think it improves, even if it is broken..

If we can avoid that it would be better. The problem with the other
nebula is that I should reactivate the blending.
