    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.

  • Alexander Wolf Alexander Wolf posted a comment on discussion Feedback

    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.

    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!

    @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 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...

    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?...

    The (arabic) sky culture was authored by Kutaibaa Akraa. My contribution was a star name list in Arabic.

    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.

    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.

    Hello. I have a quick question about 3D landscapes. I have enabled the 3D sceneries plugin to load at startup. I have downloaded and installed many new landscapes from stellarium.org, I have successfully swapped to these landscapes and they seem to function normally, and I have toggled the 3D landscape button on: Why do I always get the error msg "Please load a scene first", when trying to move around? Is there a load 3D landscape button somewhere I'm missing?

    As I wrote earlier: Sorry, I cannot help more, I have no such devices (and no time :-( I have understood StellariumScope did something weird to the configuration files, so you should work with a clean user data directory. (Or at least clean modules/TelescopeControl and fresh config.ini. Store them elsewhere for the moment. (The location is in the User Guide, chapter 5.) I would try it (as it does not cost a thing) and when it fails, revert. You will probably not need the latest changes in skycultures...

    @gzotti - Do you know if this issue was fixed in the latest release of the ASCOM Platform (6.5SP1)? It works fine with 6.4 and I don't want to upgrade to the new version if it's going to break this again.
