Stellarium help please

[Liz]

Was wondering how to save a screen from Stellarium? Have a great morning view with the 5 planets, that I want to save, but cant do it.
Have gone into all the settings, FAQ etc , but cant find the info, but have seen others do it.
Thanks :shrug:

put Stellarium into windowed mode, then do a screen capture with Print Screen, or Alt+Print Screen?

:shrug:

[Liz]

Windowed mode???
How so Duncan??

[toryglen-boy]

on the toolbar at the bottom, next to the red "x" for exit, is like a TV screen with arrows in the corner..

:)

EDIT : Ok, i am looking at Stellarium now, second icon from the right, left of the time lapse controls

Hi Liz,
For Win XP and Stellarium Version 0.10.1 and above, I use Configuration (F2) menu, go to Tools, next to Screenshots then set the Directory where you want the file to be saved. Default is something like c:\Documents and Settings\.......\Desktop. I have changed to a differnt directory as it didn't seem to save to the Desktop for me.
The first screenshot will be named Stellarium-001.png --- so you need to keep a track of your shots or re-name the files at a later date.
Hope this helps.

Duncan - there is an icon for making it a smaller window (yeah .. also great), but then ... alt print ..ummmm, how do I do a screen capture? I have the alt button........ ???

Peter - yes, had found that section to save the shot onto desktop, but nothing to press to get/save the shot. Probably missing something easy??

Thanks for the superfast replies :)

what next .........

Liz,
A much simpler solution: Press CTRL S and a screen shot will be saved to your default folder - usually desktop. It will be called Stellarium-000.png
Additional screen shots will have progressive numbers (001, 002 etc.)
If you can't see the file on your desktop, do a search of "My Computer" looking for that file name. If not on the desktop, ou'll probably find it somewhere in "My Documents".

Yeah, done ;)
Thanks Robert, is saved to desktop ... my horizon seems to have travelled right up the pic, but sure can fix that.
Thanks Duncan and Peter too.

I never knew I could do that - have been cursing swapping between its full screen mode and other programs. Duuuh! Thanks Duncan! :thumbsup:

[Liz]

Hi

Stellarium version 0.10.3 is shaping up nicely now and should be ready for release soon. It has a lot of changes to the menus and general operation and will include many new modules such as re-introduction of the usertextinterface, much improved script engine, telescope fields etc.

Most of the bugs of the earlier versions have been fixed and with a bit of luck an updated user manual for version 0.10.3 will be available that will explain the operation of the menus and configuration options.

I will have the latest information at the SPSP including a new landscape featuring the Wiruna west site. You will find me there.
