Just got my Geforce video card and so I am now able to use Celestia.
So far I've only looked at a few planets and stars. Not sure how to make this into a adventurous type of experience. But I'll keep on reading and trying.

I'd appreciate any tips, tricks or suggestions to get me started.

Maybe I need to download some add ons to get things rolling.

I'll post the solar system I created for Celestia, you'll need to download the Globular Cluster Generator but you might enjoy looking at what I created. Who knows?

I'd suggest looking in the forum under 'add-ons'. Both the factual and imaginary downloads are really good.

For a more unique experience, I add my voice to Apollo7's when I say you should grab Rassilon's cluster generator.

btw, Welcome to the pure and unadulterated joy that is Celestia :)
