No galactic halo?

I was wondering why there seems to be no halo around the milky way in Celestia, and apperantly, there aren`t an addon for this, perhabs in the form of a few globular clusters.. hmm

You better let us know what version you are referring to.
In the new Celestia-FT versions we are going to implement such features of course. In Celestia-FT1, we got all 10600 galaxies from Steinecke's revised NGC/IC catalog. In FT2 (the next major FT version) we shall implement /all/ clusters and nebulae from that catalog as well, including those making up for our galactic halo.
Just wait a bit...
