Stellarium surveys

[lux eterna]

Hi folks,

Just downloaded Stellarium ver 0.18.1 and tried the "Surveys" under "Sky and Viewing Options" :

Problem is nothing happens when I tick any randomly chosen option. Can someone please advice ?

It's new feature to me (only just installed 18.1) but I think it relates to Deep Sky images and data. So unless you are zoomed into a particular area or object for which any given survey has data you won't see much happen.

So it's a bit of an advanced feature and perhaps assumes some specific requirement and prior knowledge for the the user. 

I think!

I see you are selected HST-OIII survey, but are you enabled it to show (Ctrl+Alt+D or you may add the button on bottom toolbar for toggle surveys)?

That´s it !

Thank you Alexander, much appreciated ! With that info in mind, I found this list of Stellarium shortcuts which may be useful for others as well.
