Stellarium update
Hi
You have probably gathered that the program stellarium is my pet project at the moment.
If you can use Linux you can compile the latest development version which is being improved and expanded on a daily basis. Sorry there is no Windows version yet. I am working on that.
The display of comets and minor planets is now operational. All you need to do is add the orbital parameters in the ssystem.ini file. Addition of landscapes has now been made easier. The nebula textures file has been updated with arc second positioning and better textures giving seamless integration of the textures and jpeg textures can now be used. Telescope control works well with Meade and most Celestron or any telescope drive using compatable protocol. There are new language alternatives and the user manual has been updated.
The new user manual is still only available in source code. You will need to have Lyx 4. to compile it. However I can provide it in pdf form to anyone interested.
