EVLA Addon available

The EVLA Addon for Celestia is now available.

I'm not sure if this should count as EVLA v1 or VLA v2. At any rate, it is a .0 release with several low priority issues which might get fixed in a .1 release, which might be soon or late.

More information about the Addon is available at

EVLA Addon

Sorry for the long hiatus. My most recent Celestia project is an Addon which portrays the EVLA radio telescopes which are located in New Mexico. My goal is to have completed it by the end of April.

It has a medium-resolution model for viewing or exploring in the Master telescope location. A low-resolution model is used for the other 27 movable telescopes spread out across the desert.

In the picture below, the Master telescope is in the foreground. In the background are the others in the compact D configuration.
