Need Tutorial

Hiya!
I'm a sci-fi author and would like to place my fictional planets within my version of Celestia. (The most complicated example of which is two earth-like moons orbiting a gas-giant that orbits Bellatrix.) Is there an idiot proof tutorial out there that will walk me through all the steps generating fictional planets for Celestia?

Thanks,
Slartibartfast

I don't know of any that do exactly that.

However, you might take a look at

and

[edit: fixed typo in 1st url, although the Web server is smart enough to find the right page.]

Thanks! I thought I had remembered seeing those once upon a time. It's nice to know I'm not nuts.
