Telrad stellarium feature?

[Adz]

Hey all,

Is there a telrad feature on stellarium to superimpose the red circles onto the planetarium? I believe the french software does so but I wasn't sure about this one.

Many thanks,

Adam

ps. Am I missing something but does stellarium not automatically update? Everytime I see a new feature added I would like to explore, I have to uninstall and install it all again

go to help window F1

you will find all key shortcuts

telrad is Ctr+b

Yes, it does! I've done it but I've been looking to find how but I'm lost. It most certainly does have it, though. Somewhere.

EDIT - NINJA'D!

Thanks for the help, it isn't on mine though. I guessing I have a dated version without the feature...

[Parus major]

I think it was new for 0.10.6.1

[Adz]

Yes that is the version I have. When you press f1, what heading is the telrad shortcut under? Thanks

[Adz]

Thanks everyone I have done it now, didn't realise you had to enable the plug in

[alowen]

I still cant do it, what plug in is it please?

I've just tried the Telrad circles, but don't really know what they are, anyone explain how they help??

A telrad is a type of finder that uses concentric red circles to show different degrees of sky, superimposed direct onto the sky above. They come very highly recommended.
