Stellarium & Google Earth

Recommended Posts

Hi everyone. :hello:

I have a question regarding Stellarium & Google Earth if you don't mind chipping in with an answer or two.

Would I be correct in assuming I can use the coordinates from Stellarium and I can then find that spot in Google Earth.
Pictures will explain better... see below.

In this screenshot I've taken from Stellarium, set at my location with the ground turned off, I have Venus highlighted which is below the equator. 
If I wanted to go to the place where I could see Venus now, would the location I've marked on Google maps be the correct location? (see coordinates in bottom right hand corner. (I know they're not precise as I was just scrolling to get near to ask this question)

Note; I'm not planning on carting my gear half way round the world just to see Venus. I'm just trying to get a better understanding of the skies. (and my geography of course!)

Thanks for looking.
Pete.
