Hi, first time poster here. I'm having a problem with Celestia and its placement of the stars. See, I've removed all of the original stars (including Sol) and started replacing them. To do this, I'm using Astrosynthesis, which I believe some of you have experience with. So I set the main system to coordinates (0, 0, 0) in AS and use the sector sphere around it to get RA and Dec, and the distance formula to get distance. The problem is, the stars are mirrored to what I expect. Look at these pics:
See how the stars are on the opposite side of the main system? (Ignore the big star in the Celestia view, BTW, that's just where I'm viewing from) How can I fix this? Knowing enough of geometry, I'm pretty sure it's a simple geometric relation, but I can't seem to remember it. Any help would be appreciated.
Celestia is mirroring my stars!

Re: Celestia is mirroring my stars!
Yeah, I figured it was something simple. I feel like an idiot
That worked, though, thanks.

Never mind. You are welcome.
BTW, if you make stars also for other galaxies, you can share them!

Never at rest.
