I took out 'www.' everywhere I had added it in config.ini, and now it's OK. But my larger concern is that a program should not just close with no error message when something goes wrong. Why couldn't Stellarium be telling us what was crashing it?

It's doing it again. I will see what I can find out.

This behavior has reappeared just now. Workaround seems to be the same (run Stellarium once with no Internet connection, and then it runs OK with one). Key point, however: crashing with no error message is not appropriate behavior. The program should handle the error situation in some way.

Thanks! I thought I remembered reporting it but wasn't sure.

For a couple of years, through several versions of Stellarium, I have had problems with the position of the Great Red Spot of Jupiter. To get it to show up in the right place (agreeing with WinJUPOS and with my own photographs) I have had to check "Use custom settings of GRS" and put in a longitude of 215 (the correct longitude is about 290).

Apart from that, there was no abnormal behavior. Worse, reverting to 0.18.0 did not fix it. The cure was to launch Stellarium once with the computer disconnected from the Internet (airplane mode). It ran normally. About 15 seconds into the run, something flashed briefly at the lower...
