Cool program indeed, a good way to start designing a planet.

So to create double shadows on the planets of binary stars, the dimmer star must have a luminosity (in the planet's s...

Aha! That suggests that you didn't include the SSC directive Class "planet" If you don't specify the type of object, then Celestia assumes a body with a radius of less than 1000 km is an asteroid. If it's larger than 1000 km, then it's a planet. I know this affects the color of the orbit path. I du...

Okay I changed the radius to above 1000 and now it's in the same list as the others.. strange logic

I notice some of those look like full screen captures (inlcuding your taskbar) - you know that Celestia can capture images by itself, right? The "Capture Image" item can be found in the "File" menu.
