Feature Request: Star Visibility Detector
Based on the Topic in the forum - https://forum.orekit.org/t/geodeticpoint-getintersectionpoint-returning-null-value/2281/2
I request the Orekit community to add this as a new feature to the library.
Requirements - Star Visibility Detector same as eclipse detector
Reason for Request - To avoid the Null Value Exception in the Line
while looking for Intersection points due to numerical noise when subtracting two positions that are really far from each other.
Reply from Luc for the Feature Request:- Here, I think we should have a dedicated detector that really considers a direction at infinity and not a point target. It is probably not really difficult to set up starting from EclipseDetector, but clearly EclipseDetector cannot deal with this use case.
