when you turn the star names on how do you pick which ones show up?
can you add to that list?
Question about Star Names
The starnames that appear in Celestia when you select rendering of starnames are specified in celestia\celestia.cfg. They have to be names that also are in celestia\data\starnames.dat and which correspond to stars that have Hipparcos numbers. Celestia uses that information to figure out where to draw the names in space.
You can edit both celestia.cfg and starnames.dat: they're text files, and you can create STC files to define new stars with fake (or even real) Hipparcos numbers.
Does this help?
