This course is not for the full personal computer application or the Stellarium web app. Any smartphone or tablet or slate, any Android or iOS mobile device. This training is for the Stellarium Mobile app on smartphones and tablets. A waiting list will be kept if additional participants wish to sign up. This will provide an amateur astronomer a basic overview of the Stellarium program.Ĭlass sizes are limited. Features such as gridlines, sky settings, and red light mode will be explored. They will learn how to view the simulated sky, zoom and pan, and search for and select celestial objects. Participants will learn how to setup the mobile app for a specific location, date, and time. It can be used under a night sky to find objects in the sky using the phone's sensors. It be used to corroborate and confirm celestial objects seen.

Learn how to use the Stellarium planetarium software on your smartphone in a basic fashion.įee: Free to Members of the Royal Astronomical Society of Canada. Or should it start in the default location? in that case location is OK but time zone was not updated to the default one (UTC -3:00, just by opening Location Window the time zone goes to the default location one).Introduction to Stellarium Mobile, level 1. should it have stayed in the location it was when the app was closed? (random selected from map), in that case the time zone is ok, but location is wrong. Second bug: Now if I restart the app, it starts showing on the lower info tab the default location (in my case Antofagasta), but the time zone shown is LMST UTC-4:41. Now, if I go to Location Window and select on the map any random location, it shows the coordinates for this location and the time zone goes to LMST, but only on the Location Window.įirst bug: Stellarium lower info tab show the new coordinates OK, but the time shown stays in the previous default setting of UTC-3:00, it should have gone to the UTC-4:41 of the LMST seted in location window by selecting in the map. "use current location as default" Checked, so this location is the default one. so it goes to the correct default UTC-3:00. I have settings as described in my last post: location set to Antofagasta, "use custom time zone" unchecked. Ok, now I think I got to reproduce this as a bug.
