I like Celestia very much indeed.

I saw one of you comparing it to Starry Night, but those two products are very different; Celestia is a 3D space Planetarium, while Starry Night is an astronomy software.

I use both, for both is great in each their ways.

And yes, you can create a node-map with it!
(actually, I created a starmap with it once, to illustrate the original one from the 1960's Zeta Reticuli case.)

Don't worry about it...

I just need star data for Wolf 359, Laramis, N362, Ikeya, Ribos, Vasuda, Tau Sigma, Tegmen, Delphi, and Cygnus X-1. I propose we include the two Knossos systems as well- I suggest calling the nebula Styx, after the river in Greek mythology that one had to cross to get into Hades. We may be able to find a real binary system where the second Knossos linked to.

Hmm, how do you select whichever systems you want?

i was just going to ask that :]

i think those systems have other names (eg: hd <somenumber> ), i just cant figure out what they are.

are you editing the alterism.dat? if so, make it a new one with no other constellations (to reduce confusion) and back up your current asterisms.dat.

there's no way to make one constellation brighter than the others...

You shouldn`t have that much trouble finding Wolf 359. It's less than 20LY from Earth.

okay mr. smarty pants, what's it's name? Since wolf 359 doesn't show up in the stars list, systems list, or any other list (and i checked simbad as well).

http://www.solstation.com/stars/wolf359.htm

Here's some info on the star. It's 7.8LY away from sol (Pretty much what I thought but I hedged my bets and said 20) and the third closest star system to Sol.

It's also too dim to be seen with the naked eye (one reason why you can`t find it on your program? ).

Anyway Wolf 359 is the star's proper name so if it isn`t showing up on your program don`t blame me!

Well, Wolf 359 does not appear in Celestia, under any name. I'd like to input it but I can't find any way to; stars.dat isn't standard text. Perhaps I'll email the creator of Celestia to find a way to add to it.
