Demonstration of the new features in Gaia Sky 2.0.2:
* New pane to manage datasets. It is now possible to mute and even remove star catalogs or SAMP tables individually. * Cloud textures separated from regular surface textures. They are loaded asynchronously. * Added gamma correction slider. * Added label size slider. * Rearranged graphics options from Lighting pane to Settings dialog. Old Lighting pane is now called Visual settings.
This video starts with the camera orbiting Earth. After a few seconds, the camera pans towards M44 and then it starts a forward movement to the open cluster. Once there, it orbits it and, in some versions, proper motion arrows are shown.
