Sol-1 / HIP 200000 ?

Post by Yukterez » Fri Dec 30, 2011 12:42 pm

Celestia 160 Ed shows up with a star called Sol-1, or HIP 200000:

But does this star really exist ? I haven´t installed any extra Science Fiction stars so it should be real, but I also couldn´t find the star in any database... Distance to our sun are declared as 100 Lightyears, see Screenshot above

If you look at the Hipparcos catalog, the last entry is HIP 120416. So I suspect something funny is going on with your application.
