When I was looking at the Homunculus Nebula, I noticed Eta Carinae was nowhere to be seen, so I searched, and sure enough Eta Carinae was ~600 light years away!

You should not create a new thread if it's not needed, like in this case.
Anyway, I don't understand what you're trying to say... could you explain better? wacko

He's saying that Eta Car, which is supposed to be in the center of the Homunculus nebula, is in a completely wrong place(800 light-years away from it)

add this in your nebula catalog:

Code
Nebula    "Homunculus Nebula/Eta Carinae Nebula"
{
  Galaxy  "Milky Way"
  Type    "Diffuse"
  RA       10 45.0 03.06
  Dec     -59 41 0.4
  Dist     2299.511
  Radius   0.245
  AppMagn  15.0
}

Oh, my knowledge of astronomy is awful...

I hope the catalog will be fixed in the next version.
