I’m still only bullseye-ing womp rats in my T-16, but better astrophysicists than me tell me that it is no more difficult to orbit a black hole than it is to orbit a star or any other object.

Just don’t get closer than 3 Schwarzschild radii and you’ll do just fine - I’ve followed that particular advice and have been happily orbiting the black hole in question for close to 46 years.
