It's a new bug. I certainly didn't put it in there, so something in the Orbiter's current handling of camera is causing it.camera shaking
Also when zooming in on Mars from Earth orbit I found the phase of Mars was wrong. It was about half-lit, when it can only be full or nearly full from Earth.
Can I post pictures here? I don't know how.

They will be attached to the post.Or, on the forum, you have a dedicated Album space for your own pics. Click on user CP then My Albums.
These are images taken from Olympus on Mars using Telescope. They are Earth, Earth after more zoom and some F1s, Venus, Jupiter and Saturn. Earth's moon looks okay. I'm using standard Orbiter 2010 textures on everything except Mars itself (level 10).
It may be a video card thing. I have an Nvidia GeForce 7950 GT
Have you tried pressing F1 a few times? This sometimes works.
Less than 0.1.
O2010P1 uses a different compiler, and i can't find the locations yet. The functions were rewritten or compiler-altered a lot.

I take that back.
Updated the MFD for O2010P1, no new features, possibly some new bugs related to new camera handling in Orbiter.
Sorry for the ancient thread necromancy, but I was wondering if I could collaborate with you to expand this mod to get it to pass information on the altitude/azimuth or RA/Dec coordinates of the current 'pointing position' to a log file in regular intervals along with the current date/time in the simulator (maybe say, every 5 seconds).
I'm new to orbiter modding (ie, no idea what I'm doing), but I've developed a program for automatic telescopic tracking of rocket launches using video guidance. It works quite well with my telescope (at least on clear days), but I'd like to use orbiter to improve it by generating a log predicting a rocket's location during a launch so that the program can start tracking based on the prediction and continue tracking based on the predicted location if it goes through a cloud. Right now the best it can do is tracking along the last known vector, but that's not good enough when large clouds block the view of the rocket for more than a second or two.
Knowing nothing about orbiter modding, I don't even know if it's possible for an MFD mod to write to an external text file. Maybe the solution needs to be a custom vessel DLL which writes the coordinates to a scenario file, but I was wondering if it was possible to get the coordinates from your telescope MFD since it already does the job of pointing at a designated target.
