Personally I feel that scintillation should be disabled when atmosphere is turned off, although I've had this discussion with Fabien in the past and he likes it staying on. Matthew -- EditLive Enterprise is the world's mo

I don't think it's necessary to have this. It may make sense to show the info only if atmosphere is on, however. But the content of the info text is under discussion anyway, as I have seen. Regards, Georg On Sa, 11.06.2011, 01:25, Barry Gerdes wrote: > > Ah That is the answer > I have the atmosph

Ah That is the answer I have the atmosphere turned off by default so I can view star positions by daylight I must have missed that reference somewhere. Maybe there should be a notation on the menu noting that refraction will only show if atmosphere is on. Barry Gerdes Beaumont Hills Observator

Hi Georg What am I supposed to see. I have compiled 4897 in Windows I have the Alt/azm grid FOV 1.2 degrees I look at a star near the horizon The data gives its geometric alt as 0-35 its apparent alt as 0-59 The screen shows the star alt 0-35 Barry Gerdes Beaumont Hills

That's odd. It works perfectly on my notebook (NVidia 9800M) and cheapo-netbook (Intel GMA3150). Did you have your altitude grid switched on to compare? Georg. On Fr, 10.06.2011, 11:31, Barry Gerdes wrote: > > That's what I did > I ran two copies of stellarium on different computers one with the

That's what I did I ran two copies of stellarium on different computers one with the refraction and one earlier version. I zoomed in to the same 1 degree field on each but haven't identified any differences yet. The star I was looking at showed a difference of 30 arc minutes in altitude in the
