These textures are made by MrSpace43, and colourized by AstroChara. These textures have normal colour as they are meant to be used with the Limb Darkening PR in Celestia (which is ready, and only needs these textures to be merged)

From my research, it appears that these stars would have very low contrasts; the starspot temperature is determined radiatively rather than convectively, and they are hotter than the surrounding surface on the order of 10s of Kelvins (https://scixplorer.org/abs/2019ApJ...883..106C/abstract), resulting in this very homogeneous-looking texture.

The file size goes from 142 KBi (as jpg) to 2.1 MBi (as png). Given that the FGK and D star textures all sit around 1 MBi, that's probably a reasonable request. What do other people think? |
Each star's jpg texture quality is now 90, previously 75.
These have even lower contrasts than A-type stars' texture, especially O-type star texture, which appears to have two colours. It might be reasonable to increase their contrasts for the time being just to justify keeping them here, or in O-type star texture's case, change to 1x1 texture in lores.
