The eleven planets in the Atos system. I find Glinos interesting for its strong reflection of the sunlight. And Indigo of course, which
looks (don't say it can
) to have the opportunity to sustain lifeforms.
Eos
Micras
Moon: Tarsica
Plateau
Indigo
Moon: Ivory
Pyros
Moons: Fenrir, Lukedu, Agni
Glinos
Chrysos
Nephele
Thalassa
Opisthe
Noctis

10 points if you can then get screenshots of every moon
an extra 20 points for getting one of every asteroid
and their moons

That can be arranged!
Maybe you can make me a simple system so I can easily upload them?

Meh.
Alright then.

Excellent stuff! Doubtless there are a few more further out planets and planetoids beyond the gas giants (I presume that the gas giants would naturally be pretty far out from Atos in relation to Micras, and that they naturally provide protection against asteroids coming into the neighbourhood), but I would be interested to see a Venus analogue (Not only because I find Venus interesting, but because it would be a real challenge to send probes to and it would be fun to have series after series of probe just be crushed by the pressure on the surface).

These pictures were made thanks to a program which Bill had used (and edited that way that you could visit the Micras system). I remember adding a Batavian space station around Micras (which I could see floating around it). Perhaps interesting to revive that project (if I ever find the program again on my PC).

That'd be excellent if you could do that!

I found a picture of the program (it's called Celestia) on Bill's site:
I think that the program (with Bill his mod) itself is still installed on my old computer, so I can try to find and upload it.

I can ask Bill.

Bill: ooh gotta find it. Actually I did more than just the system; I added stars as well, so it's basically a whole galaxy (er, granted one with an even spherical distribution of stars; My next step was to change that distribution but never got around to it)
Bill: I should place my conworld in the same celestia universe :p
Bill: i'll go find it at home. making stuff like that is trivial
Bill: ...plus i have astro grad student friends here so I can probably make something slightly more rigorous
