Now that is nice! 

I'll download RC 0.19.1 immediately and see if I can find out how this works.

Edit:

I can't find an .exe or .msi. Just ...

     Stellarium-0.19.0.16932-x86_64.AppImage
     Stellarium-0.19.0.16932.dmg
     Source code(zip)
     Source code(tar.gz)

Am I looking in the wrong place?

Today we published second release candidate - with AstroCalc optimizations and small changes in GUI. Please help us testing ANGLE mode on Windows.

Ah, two more downloadables have appeared in the assets list. So now I found stellarium-0.19.0.16932-win64.exe

I'll let you know if I run into any issues.

Seems to be working well - I took the opportunity to finally break out Photoshop and tidy up one of my Ricoh Theta S photos for where I plan to put my observatory for use in Stellarium. The user guide (unpublished? https://github.com/Stellarium/stellarium/blob/master/guide/ch_landscapes.tex ) has some good guidance. Seems to work well!
