Great Job guys!!! The new guide is even better than the old one. Thanks a thousend times to Bob and Adirondack! Well speaking for myself as a german i have to especially thank Adirondack for translating it. My english isn't too bad, but if you have to look up all the expressions first isn't as conve...

This is probably again a question for Seldon ;) Okay i have finished building my star system and now i want to add some information to the planets, like gravity, population and such things. Like the information u can get on earth and the other planets, with the different levels (full, medium) you ca...

Aye selden you caught me there. I didn't read the FAQ. going to change that right now. Thanks 4 the answer anyway. That 16k LY limit is a shame, cause i wanted to place my sunsystems at the "real" points in space where they are in the SciFi novel i read. Well then i will just have to change my plans...

Thanks selden,

yes these suggestions help me. now i just have to try them out and find the best method for want i am planning to do.

BTW: Your pages on Celestia are a great help into finding out what this program can really achieve and how certain things work.

Is there a feature in Celestia that let's select you a group of stars and put a lcommon label on them? And especially would allow it to assign a color to them? So that they could be seen in the galaxy map? I was thinking about creating stellar empires and thus somehow marking their sphere of influen...

Well i am a newbie but so far i was alright. Now i have a problem that i want to create a star system of my own. In this system i want to place 2 or more planets into the same orbit. Like in this old SciFi novells where another earth orbits, at the same orbit, behind the sun. Now i don't have figure...
