Simple question here but can't find the answer no matter how hard I look

I have downloaded several Starwars ships but don't know how to find them or use them.

Once you locate a ship can you navigate with it?

I am on OSX

Thanks

If the appropriate instructions aren't in the Addon's Readme file, then you can look in the catalog files that came with the Addon.

SSC catalog files specify where objects within a solar system are located, including the name of the star that they're orbiting. Once you've Selected the star, you can GoTo objects associated with it.

STC catalog files define stars that aren't already known to Celestia (or modify existing stars).

p.s.
Objects in Celestia follow predetermined paths defined in SSC or STC catalogs. Only the location of the viewpoint can be changed dynamically.

Thanks

Thanks you for your insight and time on how the code works - I love this app so much I spend about two hours a day just zooming around.
