Ref Frame as a Child of a Created Ref Frame Centers on the Sun

[astrodavid10]

If I create a reference frame for an asteroid like Bennu and then create a ref frame as a child to show OSIRIS-REx's orbit at Bennu, it centers and scales for the sun instead. See the attached.

Do you think this is a new issue? This seems like the kind of functionality that would have been exercised in the past ..

I don't think that it is new... I'm not sure I had ever put forth good effort to get a new ref frame to have children ref frames with something like a trajectory.

Flagged by @astrodavid10 as something to look at for the upcoming release. CC @Carifio24.

@astrodavid10 I was looking into this using the example that you gave, but I'm unsure what I should expect to see at these reference frames. If I track Bennu, I see this:

When I track OSIRIS-REx, I see:

I can pan around and see the trajectory intersecting itself, like this:

I'm just curious what I should expect to see at the OSIRIS reference frame.

@Carifio24 The green are the orbits of OSIRIS-REx around Bennu and they should be attached to Bennu and not the Sun. If you are tracking OSIRIS-REx and zoom out you'll notice that it is residing in the Sun.

@Carifio24 They are the correct shape and scale (or at least close) but are attached as a child of the sun incorrectly.

@astrodavid10 Ah, ok. For some reason, I'm actually unable to zoom in or out when tracking either of these layers. I also get the warning that "This file does not seem to be a valid collection", but the layers still appear in the layer manager.

I know that parts of WWTL files are often compressed, so I'm wondering if decompressing the .zip that you attached had some adverse effect. Could you share the (unzipped) layer file?
