Stellarium is blatantly great! Do all the FAQs and guides regarding plugin development still stand true for the latest 13 version?

Well, this info is outdated in some parts (I should update it for Qt5 reality). Plus we should update info for building Stellarium from source code on Linux.

In any case plugins in the source code is up-to-date and you can use it as example for your plugin.

Hi Alexander,

wanted to report a bug under Mac OS X 10.10 Yosemite using the latest 0.13.1.  If you use the mouse to zoom in/out, navigation by mouse stops working irrespective of the configuration menu item 'enable mouse navigation'.  If you use the keyboard to zoom in/out rather than mouse, all is well.  So mouse/trackpad zoom in/out somehow breaks mouse navigation......

cheers

Nick

Hi Alexander, I have lost a tool:

post-38669-0-38228100-1413906227.png

It's the button for turning  the background images on or off. It was in the main tool bar at the bottom of the screen. I forget if it was there by default or not. Can you help me get it back?

Thank you.

Brillant software !

I did go back to version 0.12 as in 0.13 for some reason the view through the EP is just a circle, not as if you were looking through an EP. Don't know why, is it a bug or a feature ?

I show it off whenever I can to anyone who is in shouting distance. My 5 yrs old uses the search button (F3) to go through the Messier's object and she now can find her favorite nebula (M57) just by clicking randomly around Vega :) You should see her face when the ring nebula appears on the screen :)

Keep up the good work ! Kudos to you and your team.

Within Stellarium press F2 (or Configuration window on left bar) -> Tools -> Show nebula background button

Yes, this is feature - OpenGL ES doesn't support GLU and we can't use it for win64 app.

Thanks a lot for your and your team's work on Stellarium. It's an excellent piece of software. It would be amazing if we could connect to ASCOM mounts (e.g. using EQMod) directly through Stellarium without needing StellariumScope

Hi

I love Stellarium! :) However, this update seems to have a bug re the image sensor frame. Can no longer zoom in when the outline is in use. Maybe that's intentional?

Cheers

Louise

Yes, we have introduced this behavior intentionally, but there still is a bug - I'll fix it :-/

P.S. Sorry for my bad English, I hope this version is more accurate for understanding

Author and maintainer of Telescope Control plugin are Daggerstab - you can ask him directly about plans for that plugin.
