Followup: RE: halley
[b]s-orion,[/b] The search feature is an autocompleter, not a full-text search. For your data, you need to search for "P/Halley". Matthew, Your instructions are missing a vital part. They will import the asteroid named Halley, not the comet. For the comet, you need to prefix the search with "C/" or "P/" - "C/Halley" should do.

Followup: RE: Impossible to visit poles of Earth
Matthew, please look at the resolution of this bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/stellarium/+bug/775972 http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~stellarium/stellarium/trunk/revision/5270 According to the comments in the code, there had been some kind of problem and latitude had been limited to 89.5. (Past tense, because the code was changed in the revision above. I'd like to know if someone has tested it...

Followup: RE: Field of view circles
Yes, the Oculars plug-in can display a Telrad reticle in the center of the screen. If you enable the control panel GUI from the Oculars configuration window, you can have a button for toggling it. Another option is to use the Telescope Control plug-in to simulate a telescope and set FOV circles around the reticle...

Followup: RE: Qt SDK not creating qt folder
Yes, it seems that the online and the off-line installers put Qt in different places. Mine is in C:\QtSDK\Desktop\Qt\4.8.0\mingw\bin.

Followup: RE: Qt SDK not creating qt folder
The right one in your case is C:\Qt\4.8.0\Desktop\Qt\4.8.0\mingw\bin The other two refer to the versions for Symbian (Nokia's mobile phone OS) and simulator used for testing Qt mobile phone applications. It's possible that the installers organise the file tree differently. I'm going to check my Windows installation before updating the Wiki. Note that there are a few problems with...

Followup: RE: Apogees and perigees
I think I got it - the distance is the distance between the Moon and [b]the observer[/b]. Do the following experiment: - select the Moon - stop the time - note the distance to the Moon - open the Location window - click on the map to quickly change the location and note how the distance to the Moon changes. :D.

Followup: RE: 0.11.2 Satellite has invalid orbit [Ubuntu]
Something similar happens on my computer if satellites are enabled and the date is set somewhere in the past.

Followup: RE: Apogees and perigees
Another possibility is the way Stellarium is measuring distances. I don't know if it is "surface-to-surface" or "center-to-center". I have to check in the code.

Followup: RE: Apogees and perigees
[quote]The ssystem.ini file should be easy to edit, ...[/quote] No. The only parameters that can be set for the Moon in the ssystem.ini file are related to its rotation. The orbit is calculated by a built-in function, just like with the rest of the major bodies. I think that the problem may be in the way soul-tyel is determining the distances. Possible sources of error are time zone...

Followup: RE: Stellarium problems under XP
I can test it on a XP machine the next time I have access to it, which will be in the next few days.
