- Furthest Asteroid Orbit: 565 AU
- Distance From Terra: 326.1 Million Light Years
In SpaceEngine version 0.990.45.1940 without addons that star doesn't exist because the galaxy you mentioned has a different number. In fact there is a system RS 7651-448-2-0-766. If you do have the same SE version, it probably means that you have some addon that changes the number of galaxies. There is a black hole about a thousand ly from there, that's where the galaxy center should be located (reaching the center of such objects is easy with ctrl+G). Given the number change, in your SE version the name could be RSC 7652-299-0-0-0 S*.

Awesome! Thank you for the knowledge. So when I booted SE the launch splash indicated that I am running 0.990.45.1940 Beta. Not sure when I selected the beta version, as I'm far more interested in stability over pre-launch features. As far as add-ons, that's a good question. When I initially downloaded the SE program, I was given an article by the Google Gods which recommended which add-ons were the most worthwhile for those just getting started like I was.
That said, I remember downloading the add-on files, but I remember thinking that I felt there should have been another step. Suffice to say, I don't know if the add-ons I downloaded were incorporated in the SE program files. One of the add-ons instructed that I clear some cache file, but it was scant on details, so I just let it be.
I know that something called ReShape (or something) was downloaded and is running for two reasons. First is a upper banner which appears for a few moments after SE launches, and second because once I did that the time required to boot increased at least 5 fold. Is there a way to determine which add-ons have been downloaded and which are actually running? I couldn't find anything in the Settings section.
Also, when you say "that galaxy has a different number", what did you mean? There have been a few stellar objects I've read about in the astrophysics media over the last couple years and realized pretty quickly that for everything cataloged designated object, there are a half dozen additional designations which may or may not be how it's listed in the SE catalog databases. This isn't a complaint or gripe, I actually enjoy the investigative process involved, and have steepened my learning curve as a result. I'm just curious if that was what you meant by "different number". I assumed that if I selected a stellar object in SE and it displayed a catalog designation of any sort, that it was the SE's render engine's best interpretation of that object based on the known characteristics. Is that a flawed assumption?
I should also note that my additional note identifying the galaxy was found after rebooting SE and quickly scanning through the Journey Log, and while I was pretty confident that it looked like what I thought I remembered being where that star was located, it wouldn't be the first time, or the last, I should have looked closer.
Thanks again!
