This project for Celestia collects custom textures for planetary systems within 10 parsecs of the Solar System. From 2020-2021 these were all combined in a single addon, which is still available here. Later, a forum thread was used for the project, and in April 2023 I made this web page for it. If you still want to download all of these addons at once, they're available in a Google Drive folder.
Many of these addons require an up-to-date nearstars.stc, which you can get from GitHub. However, no specific exoplanet catalog is required. While links to celestia.mobi are provided, keep in mind that the addons available there aren't always identical to the "Download" links. This is always a work in progress, and some systems may be listed but not have download links yet.
See also: pedro_jg's brown dwarf catalog, which includes 39 brown dwarfs within 10 parsecs. Currently, addons for two of these objects are also available here: 2MASS J0348-6022 and WISE J1828+2650, which are compatible with the catalog since they use Replace statements.

4.3 ly | 3 stars | 2 planets
Alpha Centauri is the nearest star system to the Solar System. It consists of three stars - Alpha Centauri A (Rigil Kentaurus), Alpha Centauri B (Toliman), and Proxima Centauri, a red dwarf in a wide orbit around the main pair which is the nearest star to Sol.
Proxima is orbited by at least two known planets - Proxima b, a terrestrial planet in the habitable zone, and Proxima d, an inner sub-Earth. The existence of Proxima c, an outer mini-Neptune, is currently disputed. Alpha Centauri A may also host a candidate Neptune-to-Saturn size planet in its habitable zone.

Barnard's Star is a red dwarf star that is the second-nearest star system to Sol, and has the highest proper motion of any star. It has had claims of planet detections by both astrometry (in 1963) and radial velocity (in 2018) that were later disproven. This addon adds a texture for the star itself.

Many texture addons have also been made for planetary systems that are beyond 10 parsecs, but still nearby. This is a list of additional planetary systems with addons out to 30 parsecs, sorted by distance. Note that these addons are from a number of different authors and sources, and haven't been standardized like those in this project, so some of them may need modifications (such as Replace statements).
Some addons have been made for exoplanets that were once thought to exist in nearby systems, but were later disproven. Most of these were made when the planets in question were thought to exist (some of which were included in Nearby Exoplanets and have been moved here), while some were made after the planets were considered disproven. I've made this list to keep track of these addons.
