Aus',

There are several asteroid addons. Ivan Rviiera's ssc file of almost 8000 main-belt asteroids is available on his "Brukner" Celestia Hub at http://bruckner.homelinux.net/celestia.html with pictures at http://bruckner.homelinux.net/celestia_gallery.html Unfortunately the Web server itself is unreachable right now.

ssc files of some of the asteroids that orbit outside the main belt are available on my Web page (use button below) and on Ortolan's at http://www.skullcave.com/celestia/. His list of TNOs is more recent than mine and includes some recent discoveries.

Don't forget that asteroids are tiny, dark and very far apart. You'll only see them in Celestia if you set them to an extremely high (unrealistic) elbedo or if you turn on Asteroids in the label menu.

I hope this helps.
