Stellarium - Ocular Plugin

[erick]

I'm looking for the version of this plugin for Stellarium Ver 9. OK, I admit it, I'm still running Ver 9 on my laptop. I upgraded a desktop to Ver 10 and it is running so slowly that I didn't upgrade my laptop version - I didn't need that aggravation in the field.

I downloaded the most recent ocular plugin (bundled with two others), loaded it up on the destop and it is a neat addition.

I tried the Ver 10 plugin with my Ver 9 Stellarium - no luck.

So anyone can point me to an older version of the ocular plugin, please.

Thanks
Eric

G'day Eric,

I notice on the Stellarium website the following...

'Barry Gerdes maintains some pre-built versions of plugins for Windows systems, which you can find on his site (http://www.geocities.com/wendygblyde).'

I hope this helps?

Cheers :thumbsup:

Whoops, sorry!, that site is closed, should've checked first!
Maybe barrykgerdes will respond with a new link.

Cheers :thumbsup:

Sorry Eric
The plugins only became available with Stellarium Version 0.10.2 Also There is an error with the ocular version that works with 0.10.2 that gives the wrong size window. The fixed plugin does not work with 0.10.2. However If you have a clean copy of version 0.10.2 and download the patch www.iceinspace.com.au/uploads/4747.zip (http://www.iceinspace.com.au/uploads/4747.zip) and install the components a psudo version of 0.10.3 will result that works on most computers. This patch includes the plugins.

Since geocities closed I no longer have a web site. I will come up with another sometime in the future.

Thanks Barry. Looks like time to "bite the bullet" and try Ver 10 on my lappie.
