M31

Summary:The Andromeda Galaxy M31 for Celestia 1.5.1.
Description:This is modified version of the original add-on by Jestr. Adapted for Celestia 1.5.1, the location and size of the object matches this in newer releases of Celestia.
If you replace the old add-on with this one, you will no longer see TWO different renderings of the Galaxy. The image from the Hubble Telescope superimposed on the Celestia 3D model gives pretty much a cool effect in this particular case, better than with some other similar add-ons and it seems to work well with this respect.
To select the original Celestia model type "M 31" in the ENTER-TYPE NAME-ENTER dialog.
To select this add-on object, type "+M31" in the dialog.

Please note, this add-on requires manual tweaking to work on Linux since some file names have the wrong cases, and the add-on utilizes a Billboard 2D model in order to display Celestia's now built-in 3D version of the galaxy.
