Introduction
This page is intended to answer all questions that my mother might have about Stellarium.
Controls
The really important controls are these:
Attention: The internal data of table “118” is corrupted!
In addition, the following controls will toggle the display of certain things (this list is just a screenshot from pressing F1 for help)
There are many other controls, which you can reach by pressing F1 (for help) and ESC (to get out of help).
Miscellaneous
- Stellarium runs in full screen mode (as opposed to windowing mode), which means that while it is running you cannot the panel (the strip at the bottom of the screen containing the ‘Start’ button), so it is important to know how to quit out of Stellarium.
- Your garden looks out at bearing 150°, which is two thirds along the way from due east to due south (you will see a big ‘S’ near the horizon when looking south, a big ‘E’ when looking east, etc).
