I have downloaded Stellarium 0.15.0 and the telescope plug-in configure will not work. On an older version of Stellarium, I was able to get this to work. I am running Windows 10 and downloaded the 64-bit version of Stellarium 0.15.0. Other plug-ins are working, just not telescope control. pls go fok yourself you motherfoker idiot cow eating shiit

Thanks! That what Wikipeida says. The question is, can I calculate equinox day (not exact moment) based on shadow length / curvature. I except when Sun passes the equator it also would be most straight line from shadow top. And it is almost true.
-
An equinox is the instant of time when the plane of Earth's equator passes through the geometric center of the Sun's disk (or two places on the celestial sphere at which the ecliptic intersects the celestial equator if we say about coordinates).
-
Hello! I did small research based on Steallarium 'Ephemeris' Sun position data and calculate equinox day based on how straight shadow is (I expect straight line). Basically I assume (wikipedia think differently) on equinox day shadow on ground should appear as straight line as possible. This day I call equinox day. Turns out this day 1 or 4 days different from what I see on wikipeida. Is it Steallarium bug (incorrect sun placement) or my assumption? For data at N 55° 55' 18.12" E 37° 59' 29.05" I...

Stellarium as an astronomy program has no support for gematria. It supports Julian day numbers and the conventional Gregorian calendar for the present time and (with the new Calendars plugin) several other calendars. To count days, use the Julian Day interface, it avoids different month lengths or leap years. This forum is no longer anonymous. We had too much spam.

Thank you for your reply Georg. Showing the marks is good enough so far, but being able to show labels would of course be better. I should study this more.
-
Not sure about labels. You can also place a little icon as SkyImage. But I must read the docs like you.
-
Georg, is it possible to use this command MarkerMgr.markerEquatorial("5h10m31s", "25d30m30s", true, true, "cross", "#ffff66", 6, false, 0); and get a label for the marker?
-
Thank you Alexander. I probably should have searched better before starting this. It seems to be well documented how to use scripts.

See https://stellarium.org/doc/0.20/classCustomObjectMgr.html or https://stellarium.org/doc/0.20/classMarkerMgr.html

Hi, Ist it possible to place a marker at a very specific spot (coordinates given) in the sky? If I want to add the Wow! Signal for example. I guess it could be done through scripting, but I don't know which lines to use.

I love the high-res detail in the telescope view for nebulae/galaxies/clusters... but... is there a way we can toggle between using the stacked exposure camera view to a true human eye view? When my audiences see this, their expectations are falsely inflated by showing colorful detail when most of them will just see what we all "really" know is there. Anyway, I believe having both overlays would be a useful feature to keep expectations level. Thanks!
-
Are you in the Southern hemisphere on a location with daylight saving time? How should we know? If you set location and timezone (F6 panel), the simulation should be accurate.

I would say the stellarium view is about 30 minutes advanced of what I actually see if that is of any help....

Hi, I have a question; I am very new to stellarium but I do think it is awesome. I have an issue though that I am looking out of my window at the setting sun and it is a couple of degrees or so above my actual horizon. When I check Stellarium the sun has pretty much set behind the horizon. Can anyone explain this. I have put in my GPS coordinates and altitude and the time seems to be ok. Appreciate any help here.... Hansorian

Thanks. helpful suggestion. It is actually the green vegetation, not necessarily flowering in a place where rain water accumulates in a shallow large pool and then dries up for the vegetation to grow. Kunitzsch used "die weide" and Schjellerup used "le jardin".
-
Maybe you should give translators this hint: TRANSLATORS: Rawdah: a short time of vegetation in the desert after rainfall. Some other languages do have a particular word for this. German: Wüstenblüte. In English I see "spring flowers" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Namaqua_National_Park Maybe "The desert spring flowers and the goats" ? (If "spring" is the season. Or just "desert flowers")

@gzotti @Hans Thanks so much for the quick replies. In truth, the problem arose due to the limit in calculations with doubles (and floats) of the Mega2560 card. Running the sketch (naturally adapted) on PC with CodeBlocks, the sidereal time is accurate and reliable. But with the same code loaded on the Mega, I have an unacceptable delay of about two minutes. I will certainly study the alternative illustrated by Hans, although I would have preferred to have Arduino manage everything. Alternatively...

Hans Lambermont posted a comment on discussion Feedback
Yes afaik it's only goto and sync that Stellarium can do. What primo mosto can do as an alternative is set up an INDI server with a LX200 device driver to talk to the mount. That driver will support the rest of the LX200 protocol. Stellarium can talk to the INDI server to control the mount (with only slew and sync). And anything else that a client needs to tell the device driver can be done simultaneously from another client that talks INDI, like setting lunar or solar speed etc. -- Hans
-
The User Guide, section 15.2.1: Abilities and limitations This plug-in allows Stellarium to send ’slew’ (’go to’) commands to the device and to receive its current position. There are some scopes which additionally support ’sync’ commands to be received in order to update the internal pointing model of the mount. Some scopes also have the ability to abort a previous slew command. However, users should always be aware of the possibility for mount collisions and similar situations. You should always...

Ah! Thank you very much for explanation!

Alexander, there is the Greek story of the Lyra made from a turtle. See also our existing "arabic" skyculture. In terms of images taken from the Sufi manuscript, this is OK.

Hi everyone! I have implemented an arduino code to control the motorization of a telescope, through the LX200 protocol. Among the specifications of this protocol I read that the transmission of the sidereal time is also provided, in these terms: ": GS # Get the Sidereal Time. Returns: HH: MM: SS #. The Sidereal Time as an ASCII Sexidecimal value in 24 hour format ". The question: Does Stellarium transmit sidereal time to the telescope with the code :GS#, or does it just send right ascension and declination?...

I see artwork for constellation Lyra and this is definitely not lyra :) P.S. In the string "The desert natural gardin and the goats" what is "natural gardin"?

"Lyra" is the same name as in the western sky culture. In my system it gets translated correctly. What kind of error is it causing?

Ah, this makes it very interesting then as a "single" skyculture with an actual focus on as-Sufi. (one particular author/book snapshot). Indeed, the current "arabic" is a Ptolemy/Sufi SC.
-
The (arabic) sky culture was authored by Kutaibaa Akraa. My contribution was a star name list in Arabic. I have some reservations on calling this sky culture "Arabic", because it is based on Ptolemaic constellations and the star names are a mix of traditional Arabic names and names based on their positions in the figures of the Greek constellation like alpha PsA called: Fomalhaut meaning mouth of the fish referring to its position on the mouth of Piscis Austrinus. The significance of the (arabic)...

Hi! Basically, you would make a private fork of Stellarium from github, add your files, and send a "pull request" to us. But... you have already made one based on as-Sufi (arabic). What have you changed? Is this a replacement, or a new one? Kind regards, Georg

I have completed a new sky culture based on the Book of Fixed Stars by Al-Sufi (903-986AD). It seems that I cannot create a branch in GitHub to upload the files. How can I get access or send the sky culture for review?

Did you follow instructions from the APT manual that instructs you to activate and launch the RemoteControl plugin in Stellarium?

I use the 0.20.4 on win10 an win7 sp1. I am unable to remote my mount Losmandy Titan50 from my PC with Stellarium and APT dont recognize Stellarium (and write an error message (cf attachment_2). Now I find no more ASCOM telescope driver to setup the remote telescope plugin. Plateform ASCOM 6.5 is installed on my both PC Thank you in advance for your help. Patrick

The issue is recent. My laptop battery has failed, at around the same time. I don't know if this is related. The issue happens only with stellarium. I used other software like photoshop that could be system demanding but didn't face a similar isuue.
-
Strange. For reference, Stellarium has around 8% on my Core i7 notebook which is a generation older than your system.
-
Same issue when setting max fps to 30 and cpu max at 100%
-
I didn't change the default values: maximum_fps = 10000 minimum_fps = 18 I will experiment with power setting for cpu max at 100% and fps max 30
-
Did you set minimum_fps or maximum_fps too high? When it is just simulating current sky, frame rate can be limited with this. See Appendix D.1.24 in the User Guide.
-
My workaround that solved this was to set the power plan to cap the cpu at 50%. It seems that Stellarium is causing cpu heat and throttling .

Other PC seems to have no issues. It seems to be a specific problem in my system. If I find the cause I will post it here.

Yes. I'll try with another pc. I mostly work with Stellarium and Notepad ++ to construct a new sky culture. When trying to edit Asterisms lines file while looking for member stars in Stellarium, system becomes slow, typing and mouse movements. I have to shut down Stellarium to continue to work.
-
Loaded 107 Solar System bodies... this is harmless. But indeed, satellites? Or indeed a conflict with any other applications? OP says his Windows (i.e. other applications) becomes slow, this sounds indeed weird. Is it only Stellarium or any other (e.g. graphics or even Qt based?) applications? Kajaji, do you have another PC system to try to reproduce?
-
What about number of satellites and asteroids/comets?
-
This issue happens with the default config.ini with the latest 0.20.4. The PC cooling fans starts to run continuously when Stellarium is running even if cpu overall usage is low. I'll try to experiment with older versions to see if the issue is related to my system.
-
Is it a joke? See: https://github.com/Stellarium/stellarium/blob/master/src/core/modules/SpecialMarkersMgr.hpp#L146 Why you see revision b855bc0f8a1440e4eefa6f90a84de1650867b9a4 ?

Thanks. Yes It happens wih the current V0.20.4 using the same user folder. Older versions didn't have the same issue, but I'm not sure if it is a new windows setup or a Stellarium issue. I will experiment with the default config.ini.
-
Does this also happen with the current V0.20.4? Does this happen with older versions? Did you try to reset to defaults by renaming config.ini? The logfile looks unsuspicious, and I cannot reproduce this.
-
After running Stellarium for a short time, Windows becomes slow. Task manager shows that CPU usage and memory usage are overall normal ~ 25% for CPU and ~35% for memory. GPU usage is low ~ 10%. But there are delays in input when trying to type in other applications or trying any action in Stellarium. I tried to give Stellarium below normal priority but it didn't help. I appreciate any suggestions to overcome this issue. Log is attached.

ASCOM support was added in version 0.19.3, released more than a year ago. It appears to work for most users, but some still report issues. Always use the latest version, like 0.20.4 currently.

I just started using the bookmarks function to be able to highlite (display) the top 100 Southern Hemisphere objects on the sky map in stellarium. The book marks work fine but a rotating circle doesn't tell me much and when I go to the bookmark list unnamed star for NGC288 doesn't help much either. It would be great if we could edit the name for a bookmark and have it display on the map with the name not just a green circle

Thanks for that. At the moment, I'm not trying to show how it was exactly, just to give them an idea of what people would have seen then, how complex it is, and how difficult it would have been to work out what was going on to be able to make predictions. But I might try and simulate Newgrange at a later time! Regards
-
Please limit your expectations to a few thousand years. With the extra DE431 file you can go back with the planet positions to -13000 with some confidence. Earth/Sun/Stars with some considerations of seasonal cycles may bring you back a few tens of thousands years, approximately, but e.g. the moon will show a polar orbit around -75000, which is just an extrapolation artifact. Appendix F in the User Guide is essential info for you.
-
I'm not sure exactly what I did with the plug-in but it's worked. I've only just started with Stellarium. I want to use it in a talk about Archaeoastronomy where I want to demonstrate roughly what our ancestors tens and hundreds of thousands of years ago would have seen. Many thanks.

You disabled sporadic meteors, but not meteor showers (Hint: see plugins tab)

You can rename your config.ini (see chapter 5 in the User Guide for its location) to force a reset. If that does not help, rename the "modules" directory in your user data directory (see ch. 5 again) to force new defaults for telescope/ocular/satellites/.... Then, if it runs, piecewise restore your settings by copying back directories from the saved to the newly created modules folder, and try after each copying of a subfolder to identify the culprit.
