Adding Exoplanets around a Star

[astrodavid]

When attempting to add a star as a reference point (as a child of the Sun) I specify spherical reference frame and use the lat/long as dec/ra plus an "altitude" of the distance in meters to the desired star. This is successful and can be tracked. Upon adding a toasted texture or 3d model nothing breaks either and the texture can be successfully viewed at the appropriate distance. This breaks when the specified altitude (really distance in this case) is greater than 1E19. 1E20 crashed WWT almost immediately. 8E19, that was changed while I was zoomed out to a Milky Way distance, caused the Milky Way to be two dimensional, weird.

When an (exoplanet) orbital reference frame is created as a child of the newly created star reference frame, WWT puts it in a (random?) place in our solar system in the asteroid belt (in my case), not orbiting the star. The exoplanet orbital reference frame (incorrectly located in our solar system) can be tracked and textures added to it can be viewed at the appropriate distance (except, again, it is in the asteroid belt...).

This is related to #11 which note there is a spec somewhere for this.
