Star Labels

Post #1by foravalon » 08.05.2005, 03:10

Hello!

First Time poster and very much a novice, but I was just wondering how to go about altering the labels for stars in the program. More specifically, I would like certain stars to be labeled in addition to those which are labeled by defualt already so I can easily identify them from a distance, Like 40 Eri for example and many others which aren't already noted by the program.. I was also wondering how easy it would be to alter the names of some of these long distant labels. I appreciate any help anyone can give me.

Thank you!

Look at the LabelledStars section at the end of the celestia.cfg text file. Add the names of the stars there.
