Where to put local SSC file

I have a small SSC file to define an OrbitFrame for the Earth-Sun L1 location. The question is, where do I put this? I would rather avoid putting it in the global data directory if possible, having put it there and then lost it when I installed a new version of Celestia. Does Celestia search any user directories when starting, you know, like ~/.celestia/something?

Hi roland,

the best place to put your own files is "extras" or "extras-standard".

But you can also define in "celestia.cfg" directories where Celestia should look for addons.
