Replaces all Planets and Background images, and adds a lot more.
which version should you use?
1.2.1 includes only 3 hubble images the rest is made by me.
1.3.1 is the same as version 1.2.1 with 62 additional hubble images, that may be very color intense. In version 1.3.1 i made a lot of changes to hubble backgrounds, so you may not need your sunglasses anymore... ;P

Hello. When I add this mod into the slipstream mods folder, it does not appear in the mod manager at all when I open it. I even tried putting the compatibility patch in before it. Note: I am using CE edition.Please help.
