Star systems of all types now have motion based on Keplerian orbital data within a system. The motion of binaries, ternaries, and above are all simulated including black hole - star binaries (see Cygnus X-3) which tend to have the fastest orbits or the triple star Algol (90 Ly). Complex orbital motion is also modeled such as Rigel's (732.9 Ly) 4 stars where star C orbits Rigel A, Ba orbits C, and Bb orbits Ba. Stars are all organized in the same fashion as the data, two stars one being a primary and one a companion. Note that currently you can only transition from companion star to primary while motion is running. Improvements: Star orbital motion added for 2 or more star systems. Performance optimization during motion. Smoother transitions from object to object while motion is running. Updated time control to give a greater range. Bug Fixes: Orbital data, especially semi-major axis has ...
