Came across Celestia only a couple of weeks ago and could not believe what a wonderful tool it was. I ran the built-in demo and then tried a few examples such as the solar system tour in amazement. However I have so far failed to install a single add-on.
When I installed the latest version of Celestia, two empty directories ("extras" and "scripts") were created in:
/Library/Application Support/CelestiaResources
I have followed the instructions of every add-on and placed its files and directories
where I was told to no avail -- they are simply ignored.
The program itself runs fine and faithfully displays all the built-in textures. I would be very grateful of someone could provide me with a step-by-step example.
Is there a forum that deals with Mac issues only?
Many thanks in advance

Re: Add-ons and Mac
Hi Ben... you will have to put your add ons in the applications resources folder.
On my mac it's Applications/Celestia 1.6.0/Celestia.app - show package contents/Contents/Resources/CelestiaResources/extras-standard
Most of the add-ons will unzip to a folder which you put in here.
