I wonder if it's possible to place stars in other Galaxy?

If not, In the futur Release?

I guess that shoudn't be difficult : you should be able to create clusters at an arbitrary distance.
The problem is that they are likely to be imaginary ones, if you put them elsewhere than in the SMC and LMC

Celestia is currently limited to drawing stars to a maximum distance of about 16,000 light years from the sun. See http://63.224.48.65/forum/viewtopic.php?t=822

In particular, read the second page of that thread where Chirs wrote about some of the tradeoffs.
