Hmm, unless Celestia does stars orbiting other stars, this extra-solar planetary system may not be very authentic:

Ahh the current system Im working on is very much like this except it has more than one planet...What is the HIP or Tycho catalouge number and Ill place my current system there...

Not sure what the catalog number is offhand, but you can always just use the star name instead, e.g.

"Planet X" "Gamma Cephei"
{
...blah...
}

Anyhow, I think that the planet around Gamma Cephei made it into the last prerelease.

Got it...Did a little research and got HD 202400...Errai is an alternate name...The zip for the system is in my signature...

The system has a few added imaginary worlds..Planet B is named Juniper...and has 2 semi-habitable moons...Errai B has a small system of three planets [the center world has a moon]...Since emissives do not illuminate yet the lighting is off...oh well

Im sure thier may be a few mistakes...Feel free to fix and lemme know what you did...

btw thanx for the heads up Paul...I was looking for a system to put these planets and the one I had before just didnt cut it...

Filename errai.zip ~ 20 megs [Ill try to make a jpg version soon, current is all dds format]

Next one Ill have up is the Mira system...

sounds cool, i'm d/l it now but the sever is a bit slow, only 37 kilo-bytes per second
