Info addons for Sun, Arcturus and Procyon

[maxim]

There are two new Info-Plugin addons available.
The first one shows absorbtion spectra for Arcturus and Procyon - along with some general info.
The second one contains several information panes for the sun - including absorbtion spectrum, UV and XR views and some videos of sun activity.

Sorry, no pics here. Just load and look. (It's worth it)

have fun

Some remarks I've forgot to make:

The video panes where tested only with IE, so I don't know about other browsers. If you've got experience, just post it here for the rest of the community.

Regarding the video player plugins, I've found that Windows Media Player acts to slow to be usable (1/2 fps). Quicktime is a little more agressive here, so is able to grab more CPU Time from Celestia thus showing the videos at nearly normal speed. So try to register the MIME types 'mpeg' and 'mov' with Quicktime (as suggestion). You may find an even better solution - if so tell me.

Has anybody actually downloaded the addons and found them usefull?
Maybe I'm developing away from common wishes with those info addons. If so, I'll keep them for myself and don't deploy them - they take webspace I could use for something else.

Hello Maxim: Downloads are 'en route'. I'll install them and have look soon.
Jeam, no time for the moment, sorry.

Max, did you miss this thread http://shatters.net/forum/viewtopic.php?p=32194 ?

In my opinion, well, actually in my use would be more correct, it has a great potential (I have further developpements in my mind), but it is pretty useless.

In the Selden opinion (and for a lot of "silent" people), it's usefull.

In other words, keep the work
