select ISS; observe ISS altitude is reported 419km
observe plot
enable penumbra at 419km
BUG
(penu)umbra is different although selected altitude is the same
the point where the ISS becomes invisible is relatively far from penumbra. in fact, the segment where the ISS enters penumbra could be colored differently (suggestion: adopt penumbra color setting?). (Additionally, the button does nothing when a satellite is selected, another indication that something is wrong in the UI approach.)

the "show umbra/penumbra" should operate independently of whether a satellite was selected or not. (Agreed, this demands for different colors...). There is a UI issue in the choice of three checkboxes.

Logfile
If possible, attach the logfile log.txt from your user data directory. Look into the Guide for its location.
The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:
The satellite vanishes between penumbra and umbra borders. These are results from the used satellite library code that classifies into "visible"/"hidden" and not much more. We are talking about a few seconds.
The "shadow in ...km altitude" code necessarily leaves out ellipsoidal effects, while the altitude of the satellite is above the WGS84 ellipsoid. It should still provide a rough idea.
It's good enough for me to not throw away the function. But it will never be good enough for some other users.
At this point you are again cordially invited to get involved, reverse engineer the code, fix what you find broken, and propose your solution.
