Huge LQG and the Clowes-Campusano LQG complex. You can see the voids separating Huge, CC, and Newman.

Yes, there's now actual quasaric representation in Celestia. Isn't that awesome?
A total of over 300 quasars in almost 20 LQGs are shown here. I strongly recommend running the mark_lqgs.cel script for this addon.
The only LQG not included here is the 7Sf Group/U0.19, due to a lack of information. I would be extremely grateful if someone could find SIMBAD/NED/VizieR data on the LQG.
