I realize that they're not going to be very correct, but something is better than nothing to me. I just wanted to know if adding a galactic barycenter and giving a star an orbit would crash the program or something similar before running off and doing all of that annoying data entry, you know? (actu...

I'm not really talking about binary systems though (eg.: Alpha Centauri).
I'm referring to giving the Sun (Sol) and orbit, along with say... Bernard's star, Sirius, 61 Cygni, etc...
I suppose that I'd need to define a barycenter for the galaxy somewhere, as well. ???

Hello folks, I've got a quick question for you.
Is there any way to give stars orbits, similar to the way that planets have orbits? If so, how?
There are some decent sources for orbital data on stars out there, but I can't figure out if Celestial can deal with adding that information or not.

Thanks!
