Star Name labels

[layala1]

Only few stars names are shown. How can I show them all???

I don't think that would be very wise: the sky would be CLUTTERED with starnames, thus making it a bit tough to discern the names unless you zoomed in, I think.

You could do what I've done, and add some more star names to your celestia.cfg file.

I put in the names of a few more interesting/famous/brightest stars from constellations and asterisms that are not in the Celestia default list.

The following section of code is found at the end of the document. (obviously not including all the ones that I've added ! )

Code: Select all
