Stellarium help please!


Recommended Posts

I'm prepping for a teacher training session tomorrow (I'm subbing for a Faulkes Telescope team member).  For planning FT recommends Stellarium.  I use CdC, so am quickly trying to remind myself of Stellarium basics 🙂   Given that we want to schedule observations for telescopes in other parts of the world that work in UT, is there a way to override Stellarium's use of the local time zone?

Thanks!

Hi Helen

On the location dialog [F6], tick the 'Use custom time zone' option and select 'UTC' from the Time Zone dropdown

You can then set your location to wherever in the world you wish and the time will remain set to UTC
