Hi,

I try to add a new star in celestia 1.6.1 but none star and none error !
Do you know why ?

Here are the stc file (in same subdirectory with another stc files):

650098 "Z01:System_Z01"
{
RA 251.7099
Dec ‭-45.933257‬
Distance 200.00
SpectralType "G2V"
Texture "gstar.*"
AbsMag 4.7
}

or same results with this another try :

3029652964 "Z01:System_Z01"
{
RA 251.7099
Dec ‭-45.933257‬
Distance 200.00
SpectralType "G2V"
Texture "gstar.*"
AbsMag 4.7
}

Regards.

The problem is your minus sign. There seems to be a "modifier" character just in front of it which is not shown by the forum software.

Could it be that you are using a word processor (e.g. Word) instead of a text editor? Word processors replace some ASCII characters by the binary codes of "equivalent" printer's characters which Celestia can't interpret.

Below is a screengrab of what I see when I copy-and-paste your text into emacs. Note the vertical bar that has appeared in front of the minus sign.

TY Selden.

During my searches, I took another good file which I updated and it was OK.
