View / Show / Light-Time Correction   ()

Summary

Shows the active view window corrected for light-time.

Description

When you select this command, the active view window will be corrected for light-time, and when you deselect this command, the active view window will be shown without any correction for light-time. When a view window is shown with light-time correction, the view is shown as it would appear taking into account the motion of the objects and the finite speed of light. When a view window is shown without light-time correction, the view is shown as it would appear if the speed of light was infinite. In many cases, the effect of using this command is so small that it might not be noticeable.
