- Added the "Observing Planet" option in config. This allows the user to see another planet's perspective. Earth's orbital configuration has moved into the planet list, treating it like any other planet.
- Added planet textures. Planets when viewed from close enough or with enough spyglass zoom will be rendered with a texture, like the sun and moon are.
Planet textures have phases just like the moon, this can be seen with Venus from Earth.
- Changes to planet magnitude / brightness calculation, uses only one config option "Absolute Magnitude" rather than two, and doesn't rely on the observing planet's orbit being fixed. Calculation takes into account: distance from observer, distance from sun, phase angle and absolute magnitude.
- Changes to star rendering, fixed bright stars and planets becoming white and losing their color.
- Lag when using a spyglass is significantly reduced.
