How am I intended to navigate the constellations?

Solution 1:

You can navigate the constellations with the keyboard using the WASD keys, which may be easier than trying to use the mouse , which have a tendency to click on the wrong star.

If you have problem reaching a star, you should try approaching it from another direction, like going from the side, or even another constellation.

Solution 2:

I encountered the problem of being unable to reach certain stars using the WASD keys but I then discovered this: The mouse also works. You can simply click on the "stars" that you are having difficulty scrolling to with the keyboard. If a star is not on screen, try navigating to a star that is on the same "latitude" and navigate to it using the A and D keys.
