Stellarium question

[Thalestris24]

Just wondered if anyone knew if it's possible to change the defaults used in the oculars plugin/sensor frame. It would be nice if I could set it to use a particular scope/reducer/camera combo when it starts up instead of having to manually select the above each time. I've tried setting them in the configuration/oculars plugin/configuration but it doesn't seem to remember everything between sessions. Of course, I could delete everything not in current use but then I'd have to input everything again when I changed the imaging configuration - which I do fairly frequently as I have different several mounts/scopes/cameras.

Thanks

If you promote your preferred default scope and eyepiece etc  to the top of the lists on the relevant tabs of the ocular plugin configuration window

with the up/down arrows at the bottom of the window it should open with that combination when you select ocular view.

Ah, that helps - thanks! I've been using Stellarium for over 4 years now - yet didn't notice the arrows at the bottom! Tut! They maybe should have mentioned this in the manual (or maybe I missed it...). Mind you, it still doesn't default to my reducer so still have to select that manually though I could just change the focal length of the scope as I'm not likely to use it without the reducer.

Brilliant software - I used the Ocular plugin the other day to rehearse an 'observing run' to find Stephan's Quintet in a certain eyepiece. Cool stuff!

Hijack alert: is there a way to make stellarium remember the setting in the bottom bar when it restarts?

Click on Configuration in the left side-bar & select "Save Settings"
