Celestia Forums

WEll here I am at 59 trying to make sense of the universe at finding this magnificent program to help me. However technology and I do not go hand in hand so I was wondering if there is a forum board for newbies as it were or perhaps someone might be able to help me here. I wanted to find things like nebulas and use all the powereful tools this program offers. I down loaded the add on eagle nebula but can anyone tell me how I access it?

Any help greatly appreciated

Regards

Bill

From one old Brain-Dead Geezer to another...

It also helps if you can read the text associated with a large part of the
add-ons available on the Motherlode now. If you click on the
magnifying glasses associated with any of the add-ons, you'll see
more helpful text which explains how to install, how to use, etc.

This is the case now for MOST of the add-ons located under the
Solar System, the Spacecraft, and the extrasolar categories.

We're still working on the rest of them, but they are getting adjusted
now.

Thanks, Geezer Bob
