All the Orion's Arm Addons are now available from the motherlode in one big file;
I made this page to help anyone who can't load this OA Universe file or
find the planets within;

see if the clickable URLs work for you...

Steve,

A quibble: your Web page doesn't mention that your Celestia download link is only for Windows. You might want to include a link to Celestia's SourceForge page so people can get the versions for other platforms.

Joe Bolte at the Celestia Motherlode has given us a page of our own to display the various Orion's Arm downloads;

That's odd... I downloaded your full package and (a) the preset views on the first webpage linked above don't actually show the planets (you have to "goto" them, and even then some don't work, like the Zeus link) and (b) Panthalassa seems to be located 1 AU from a K3 Ia supergiant?!?!

Am I doing something wrong here? I just unzipped everything into the extras folder.

I find that the Cel.urls work best if you close Celestia down before clicking each time;
even on my own system I find that the second or third click takes me to an out of focus image of some random star.

Don't know why, but there it is.

And yes; Panthalassa is wrongly sited; it was the first planet I made, before I learnt how to make .stc files. This will be corrected to a nearby fictional KV5 star in a forthcoming version.
