Summary0002215: Simulation during transit
DescriptionI tried to simulate the trajectory of Mercury every 10 minutes during the Nov 11 transit, and discovered that the Sun disappears when the simulated points are plotted. I am attaching a screen shot, and also the same done with version 4.0, which does not show the isse. Thanks, Patrick.

Hi Guillermo,

This is because the option "Show mark" is checked.
And I was asked to show only the object checked for simulation in this case, this is to plot a specific planet path without perturbation by other objects. If you remove this option it must work. Is this OK?

But beware the Sun also move during this time. If you select only Mercury for the simulation, only the first point is right relative to the Sun.
When both Mercury and Sun are selected it is difficult to match the corresponding position and even if you select transparent planet it fade if there is too much superposition.

The only way to show this precisely is to not use the simulation but the animation.

Understood. Thank you. The Show mark option is good enough. You may close this.
Regards.

I make a change so when for planet you select "Line mode" and "Transparent" the planet drawing is really transparent so it is more easy to see Mercury in front of the Sun with both object in simulation.
