[RFC] Azkaban

[M Fnord]

Light's a funny thing - at HZ distance even a brown dwarf will be bright enough that the light isn't "red" in the gel-spotlight sense. It'd still register mostly as white to our eyes, maybe a bit on the orange end but no more so than, say, a campfire. Also, Rayleigh scattering in an oxygen-nitrogen atmosphere would still default to blue skies. In this case it's a very dark blue because there's not enough light coming from Nemesis to get that nice bright blue.

More to the point, the hellish red glow of the Azkaban orbital shot is (AFAICT) an artifact of the program I used to get the shot. In 'reality' the shot probably wouldn't be so red.

In the meantime, have a true-color map of the surface:
