Remember, Eta carinae is a very big blue star, the AppMag -1 is the best size and it was more look like the REAL size.

The star has wrong apparent magnitude specified. It is -1 (that is why it shines like mad). It should be around 6.21.

Cool 3D!!! Many addons here are 2D, that's bad, but this is better than anything!
